Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** SQLE is a membrane-bound enzyme that belongs to the cytochrome P450 superfamily. It is specifically involved in the conversion of squalene to 2,3-oxidosqualene, a critical step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. SQLE has a high degree of specificity, with a strong affinity for squalene and a low affinity for other substrates. The enzyme is also known for its ability to form a complex with the transcription factor SREBP (Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein), which plays a key role in regulating cholesterol biosynthesis. **Pathways and Functions:** SQLE is involved in the following pathways: 1. **Cholesterol Biosynthesis:** SQLE is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, which is an essential lipid for various cellular processes. 2. **Steroid Biosynthesis:** SQLE is involved in the synthesis of other steroids, including steroid hormones and bile acids. 3. **Lipid Metabolism:** SQLE plays a role in the metabolism of lipids, including the breakdown of cholesterol and other lipids. 4. **Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Function:** SQLE is localized to the ER, where it is involved in the synthesis of cholesterol and other lipids. SQLE has several functions, including: 1. **Regulation of Cholesterol Biosynthesis:** SQLE regulates the biosynthesis of cholesterol by forming a complex with SREBP, which in turn modulates the expression of genes involved in cholesterol synthesis. 2. **Maintenance of Cellular Homeostasis:** SQLE helps maintain cellular homeostasis by regulating the levels of cholesterol and other lipids within the cell. 3. **Modulation of Cell Proliferation:** SQLE has been shown to regulate cell proliferation by modulating the expression of genes involved in cell growth and differentiation. **Clinical Significance:** SQLE has several clinical implications, including: 1. **Cholesterol Metabolism Disorders:** Mutations in the SQLE gene have been associated with cholesterol metabolism disorders, including familial hypercholesterolemia. 2. **Cancer:** SQLE has been implicated in the development and progression of certain cancers, including breast and prostate cancer. 3. **Neurological Disorders:** SQLE has been shown to play a role in the development of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. 4. **Infectious Diseases:** SQLE has been implicated in the pathogenesis of certain infectious diseases, including tuberculosis and malaria. In conclusion, SQLE is a critical enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and other lipids. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including cholesterol metabolism disorders, cancer, and neurological disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of SQLE in human health and disease.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
