“…1,compound 3), the common precursor of cholesterol in vertebrates and ergosterol in fungi. Lanosterol synthase catalyzes a slightly less complex reaction than do the plant terpene synthases, but the former are more commonly studied, in part, because they are more readily accessible (6)(7)(8). Mammalian liver and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (bakers' yeast) homogenates contain sufficient lanosterol synthase activity to be used directly in enzymatic reactions.…”

“…Perfil químico da superordem Corniflorae. substâncias com esqueleto carbônico contendo 6 unidades isoprênicas e são derivados biossinteticamente de um hidrocarboneto acíclico em C 30 , o esqualeno, formado pelo acoplamento cauda-cauda de duas moléculas de pirofosfato de farnesila, seguindo a via metabólica dos ácidos acético/mevalônico 46 . São estruturas cíclicas relativamente complexas, podendo estar oxidadas à álcoois, aldeídos, cetonas ou ácidos carboxílicos.…”

“…Squalene is then cyclized to produce the parent skeletons of many different kinds of triterpenes and phytosteroids, which undergo subsequent modifications. 41 Finally, the class of tetraterpenes includes the plastid terpenoids (carotenoids, chlorophylls, plastoquinones, tocopherols, and phylloquinones). The general features of carotenoid biosynthesis are similar in higher plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria.…”
