    Summary
    Predicted to enable squalene synthase [NAD(P)H] activity. Predicted to be involved in cholesterol biosynthetic process and farnesyl diphosphate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FDFT1 (farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
