Botryococcus squalene synthase

Botryococcus squalene synthase (EC 1.3.1.96, SSL-2 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name squalene:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase.^[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

squalene + diphosphate + NADP⁺

\rightleftharpoons

presqualene diphosphate + NADPH + H⁺

This enzyme is solated from the green alga Botryococcus braunii BOT22.
