https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanosterol%20synthase
Lanosterol synthase () is an oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) enzyme that converts (S)-2,3-oxidosqualene to a protosterol cation and finally to lanosterol. Lanosterol is a key four-ringed intermediate in cholesterol biosynthesis. In humans, lanosterol synthase is encoded by the LSS gene. In eukaryotes, lanosterol synthase ...
