4.2.3.156 | physiological function |
the gene products of HpnC, HpnD, HpnE, and HpnF are responsible for conversion of farnesyl diphosphate to hopene or related pentacyclic metabolites. HpnD catalyzes formation of presqualene diphosphate from two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate. HpnC converts presqualene diphosphate to hydroxysqualene, and HpnE, a member of the amine oxidoreductase family, reduces hydroxysqualene to squalene |
