| Gene Description | Squalene monooxygenase, also known as squalene epoxidase, catalyzes the stereospecific oxidation of squalene to -2, 3-epoxysqualene and is considered to be a critical rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis downstream of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase. The N-terminal region of SQLE is anchored to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane via a re-entrant loop, and undergoes a conformational change in response to elevated cholesterol levels. This cholesterol-mediated conformational change promotes the interaction of SQLE with the E3 ligase MARCH6, leading to targeted ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Altered expression of SQLE is associated with perturbed cholesterol homeostasis and tumor progression, prompting investigation of the therapeutic potential of SQLE. Moreover, research studies have shown that cholesterol auxotrophy and subsequent squalene accumulation observed in certain cancers may prevent oxidative cell death and represent a targetable vulnerability to SQLE inhibitors. |
