Presqualene diphosphate synthase (EC 2.5.1.103, SSL-1 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate:(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase (presqualene diphosphate forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
2 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
presqualene diphosphate + diphosphate
This enzyme is isolated from the green alga Botryococcus braunii BOT22.
