The mammalian cholesterol synthesis enzyme squalene monooxygenase is proteasomally truncated to a constitutively active form

Squalene monooxygenase (SM, also known as squalene epoxidase) is a rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol synthesis that converts squalene to monooxidosqualene and is oncogenic in numerous cancer types. SM is subject to feedback regulation via cholesterol-induced proteasomal degradation, which depends...
