LITERATURE
biotechnology
drug development
-
possible enzyme to inhibit for treatment of hypercholesterolemia, but strong side effects (e.g. dermatitis-like toxicity)
medicine
nutrition
expression of myogenic marker genes (Myog, Myod, and Myh4) and adipogenic marker genes (Pparg, Cebpa, and Adipoq) is substantially downregulated in cells transfected with squalene epoxidase siRNA. mRNA expression levels of ROS scavengers, which affect meat quality by altering protein oxidation processes, are significantly downregulated by squalene epoxidase knockdown
pharmacology
-
squalene epoxidase is an attractive potential target for drugs used to inhibit the growth of pathogenic fungi or to lower cholesterol level in humans
synthesis
simultaneous overexpression of squalene epoxidase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A enhances individual ganoderic acid production. The overexpressing strain produces maximum ganoderic acid-T, ganoderic acid-S, ganoderic acid-Mk, and ganoderic acid-Me contents of 90.4, 35.9, 6.2, and 61.8 microg/100 mg dry weight, respectively
