Squalene synthase
What it does, reaction by reaction
This enzyme appears only in the regulation table, with no catalysed step recorded.
What accelerates and inhibits it
Regulation is pathway-specific, so each context is listed separately
Cholesterol Biosynthesis (Mevalonate Pathway)
FPP availability
Sterol feedback and pathway-specific inhibitors
Fed-state/insulin signaling tends to favor expression; fasting suppresses lipogenic/sterol programs
