Presqualene diphosphate synthase (EC 2.5.1.103, SSL-1 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate:(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase (presqualene diphosphate forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- 2 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate presqualene diphosphate + diphosphate
This enzyme is isolated from the green alga Botryococcus braunii BOT22.
