Background
This gene encodes a membrane-associated enzyme located at a branch point in the mevalonate pathway. The encoded protein is the first specific enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, catalyzing the dimerization of two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate in a two-step reaction to form squalene.

Function
catalytic activity:2 farnesyl diphosphate = diphosphate + presqualene diphosphate.,catalytic activity:Presqualene diphosphate + NAD(P)H = squalene + diphosphate + NAD(P)(+).,cofactor:Magnesium.,pathway:Terpene metabolism; lanosterol biosynthesis; lanosterol from farnesyl-PP: step 1/3.,similarity:Belongs to the phytoene/squalene synthetase family.,subunit:Monomer.,
