Difference between 2,3-Oxidosqualene and Squalene monooxygenase

2,3-Oxidosqualene vs. Squalene monooxygenase

(S)-2,3-Oxidosqualene ((S)-2,3-epoxysqualene) is an intermediate in the synthesis of the cell membrane sterol precursors lanosterol and cycloartenol, as well as saponins. Squalene monooxygenase (also called squalene epoxidase) is an enzyme that uses NADPH and molecular oxygen to oxidize squalene to 2,3-oxidosqualene (squalene epoxide).

Similarities between 2,3-Oxidosqualene and Squalene monooxygenase

2,3-Oxidosqualene and Squalene monooxygenase have 2 things in common (in Unionpedia): Squalene, Substrate (chemistry).

Squalene

Squalene is a natural 30-carbon organic compound originally obtained for commercial purposes primarily from shark liver oil (hence its name, as Squalus is a genus of sharks), although plant sources (primarily vegetable oils) are now used as well, including amaranth seed, rice bran, wheat germ, and olives.
