Gene information for LSS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
| Entrez gene ID | 4047 |
| Official gene symbol | LSS |
| Full name | lanosterol synthase (2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase) |
| Aliases | ,FLJ25486,FLJ35015,FLJ39450,FLJ46393,OSC, |
| Gene summary | The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of (S)-2,3 oxidosqualene to lanosterol. The encoded protein is a member of the terpene cyclase/mutase family and catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, steroid hormones, and vitamin D. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. |
