SYNONYMS
Farnesyl-Diphosphate Farnesyltransferase 1, Squalene Synthase, SQS, SS, FPP:FPP Farnesyltransferase, EC 2.5.1.21, DGPT, ERG9, Presqualene-Di-Diphosphate Synthase, Squalene Synthetase, Farnesyl-Diphosphate, Farnesyltransferase, FDFT1.

INTRODUCTION
Farnesyl-Diphosphate Farnesyltransferase 1, also known as FDFT1 is a membrane-associated enzyme sited at a branch point in the mevalonate pathway. FDFT1 belongs to the phytoene/squalene synthase family. FDFT1 is the 1st specific enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, which catalyzes the dimerization of 2 molecules of farnesyl diphosphate in a two-step reaction to form squalene.

DESCRIPTION
FDFT1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 306 amino acids (1-283 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 35.4 kDa. FDFT1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
