FDFT1

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. [provided by RefSeq]
Full Name
farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1
Research Area
Catalyzes the condensation of 2 farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) moieties to form squalene. Proceeds in two distinct steps. In the first half-reaction, two molecules of FPP react to form the stable presqualene diphosphate intermediate (PSQPP), with concomitant release of a proton and a molecule of inorganic diphosphate. In the second half-reaction, PSQPP undergoes heterolysis, isomerization, and reduction with NADPH or NADH to form squalene. It is the first committed enzyme of the sterol biosynthesis pathway.
Biological Process
Cholesterol biosynthetic process Source: GO_Central
Farnesyl diphosphate metabolic process Source: GO_Central
Steroid biosynthetic process Source: ProtInc
Cellular Location
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane
Involvement in disease
An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by profound developmental delay, brain abnormalities, 2/3 syndactyly of the toes, facial dysmorphisms, low total and LDL-cholesterol, and abnormal urine organic acids.
