Record overview

MGPD IDMGP001840
Gene ID4047
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namelanosterol synthase (2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase)
Gene Symbol LSS
SynonymsOSC;
Alternate nameslanosterol synthase; 2,3-epoxysqualene--lanosterol cyclase; 2,3-epoxysqualene-lanosterol cyclase; hOSC; oxidosqualene--lanosterol cyclase;
Chromosome21
Map Location21q22.3
EC Number5.4.99.7
SummaryThe 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.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
