Summary
Squalene Synthesis
is a critical
Biochemical Pathway
that produces squalene, a key intermediate in the
Biosynthesis of cholesterol
and other sterols. This process involves the
Condensation of two molecules of farnesyl pyrophosphate
(FPP) in a reaction catalyzed by
Squalene Synthase
, highlighting its
Importance in lipid metabolism
and
Cellular Function
.
