LITERATURE
metabolism
SSL-2 catalyzes the NADPH-dependent biosynthesis of approximately 90% bisfarnesyl ether and 10% squalene
physiological function
squalene and botryococcene are branched-chain, triterpene compounds that arise from the head-tohead condensation of two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate to yield 1'-1 and 1'-3 linkages, respectively
