Application


  • Lanosterol synthase deficiency promotes tumor progression by orchestrating PDL1-dependent tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment.: Demonstrates how lanosterol synthase, linked to 2,3-Oxidosqualene, influences tumor environments, potentially informing cancer treatment strategies (Gao et al., 2024).

  • Promiscuous Oxidosqualene Cyclases from Neoalsomitra integrifoliola Catalyzing the Formation of Tetracyclic, Pentacyclic, and Heterocyclic Triterpenes.: Investigates the versatility of oxidosqualene cyclases, which could have implications for synthetic applications of 2,3-Oxidosqualene in producing diverse triterpenes (Li et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

2,3-Oxidosqualene is a substrate of the 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclase lanosterol synthase. 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclase has been shown to be suppressed by a high fat diet and high levels of cholesterol.
