Botryococcus squalene synthase (EC 1.3.1.96, SSL-2 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name squalene:NADP+ oxidoreductase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- squalene + diphosphate + NADP+ presqualene diphosphate + NADPH + H+
This enzyme is isolated from the green alga Botryococcus braunii BOT22.
