The encoded protein is a member of the terpene cyclase/mutase family and catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, steroid hormones, and vitamin D. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]. * **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes the cyclization of (S)-2,3 oxidosqualene to lanosterol, a reaction that forms the sterol nucleus. Through the production of lanosterol may regulate lens protein aggregation and increase transparency. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26200341, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7639730}. |Prenyltrans| |lanosterol synthase activity| |triterpenoid biosynthetic process| |beta-amyrin synthase activity| |triterpenoid metabolic process| |terpenoid biosynthetic process| |isoprenoid biosynthetic process| |cholesterol biosynthetic process| |regulation of cholesterol biosynthetic process| |secondary alcohol biosynthetic process| |regulation of sterol biosynthetic process| |sterol biosynthetic process| |regulation of cholesterol metabolic process| |regulation of alcohol biosynthetic process| |lipid droplet| |regulation of steroid biosynthetic process| |alcohol biosynthetic process| |regulation of steroid metabolic process| |cholesterol metabolic process| |terpenoid metabolic process| |steroid biosynthetic process| |secondary alcohol metabolic process| |sterol metabolic process| |isoprenoid metabolic process| |organic hydroxy compound biosynthetic process| |regulation of lipid biosynthetic process| |steroid metabolic process| |regulation of protein stability| |alcohol metabolic process| |regulation of lipid metabolic process| |regulation of small molecule metabolic process| |organic hydroxy compound metabolic process| |lipid biosynthetic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |lipid metabolic process| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |small molecule metabolic process| |membrane| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp452|Azithromycin 100μM R08 exp452]]|-2.02| |[[:results:exp302|35°C R06 exp302]]|-1.87| |[[:results:exp272|CHIR-124 0.04μM R06 exp272]]|-1.79| |[[:results:exp233|EPZ-5676 30μM R05 exp233]]|-1.77| |[[:results:exp289|Hydroxyurea 15μM R06 exp289]]|-1.72| |[[:results:exp46|HMS-I1 1μM R01 exp46]]|2.14| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
