Squalene Monooxygenase
Squalene Monooxygenase, SQLE, Squalene Epoxidase
Squalene epoxidase (SQLE), also named squalene monooxygenase, is a FAD-containing enzyme in the endoplasmatic reticulum. SQLE catalyzes the epoxidation of squalene to produce 2,3-oxidosqualene in the presence of NADPH, a key step in cholesterol biosynthesis. SQLE is a direct target of SREBP2 transcription factor that regulates the majority of genes in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway[1][2].

Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide
0 ImagesSynonyms: TMTMTetramethylthiuram monosulfide (TMTM) is an orally active microsomal monooxygenases inhibitor. Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide is used as an accelerator and activator in the processing of natural rubber and butyl rubber. Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide reduces palmitic acid incorporation into microsomal phospholipids, disrupts microsomal membrane integrity, and impairs electron transport during oxygenation. Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide can be used for the research of fungal infection, bacterial infection and allergic contact dermatitis.
