Human Lanosterol Synthase

Lanosterol Synthase catalyses the reaction from 2,3-oxido-squalene (squalene epoxide) to Lanosterol. It is one of the enzymes in the enzymatic cascade that converts squalene to cholesterol through stepwise modifications of the substrate.

Usage and Biology

Lanosterol synthase (LSS) an oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) enzyme that specifically binds to squalene epoxide (2,3- oxidosqualene), which is present in fingerprints. Our modelling showed us that squalene epoxide is the compound with the most distinct degradation pattern in fingerprints, and it was hence selected as an appropriate target for approximating the age of a fingerprint.
