Protein function

Annotation:ERG9Squalene synthase
KEGG:K00801FDFT1 farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase [EC:2.5.1.21]
EGGNOG:0PFJUERG9Catalyzes the condensation of 2 two farnesyl pyrophosphate moieties to form squalene. It is the first committed enzyme of the sterol biosynthesis pathway. Required for the biosynthesis of ergosterol
