Introduction of a green algal squalene synthase enhances squalene accumulation in a strain of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 [PDF]
Metabolic Engineering Communications, 2020 Squalene is a triterpene which is produced as a precursor for a wide range of terpenoid compounds in many organisms. It has commercial use in food and cosmetics but could also be used as a feedstock for production of chemicals and fuels, if generated ...

Squalene through its post-squalene metabolites is a modulator of hepatic transcriptome in rabbits [PDF]
, 2022 Squalene is a natural bioactive triterpene and an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of sterols. To assess the effect of this compound on the hepatic transcriptome, RNA-sequencing was carried out in two groups of male New Zealand rabbits fed ...

Study of the Effect of Squalene Epoxidase Activity on Squalene Biosynthesis by Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae VGSh-2 [PDF]
, 2022 The researchers of this study investigated the biosynthesis of squalene by the yeast S. cerevisiae VGSH-2 through the activity of squalene epoxidase, which is a key enzyme in the conversion of squalene to ergosterol.

Plasma squalene: lipoprotein distribution and kinetic analysis.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1978 Plasma squalene concentration is increased in hypertriglyceridemia. In 24 normotriglyceridemic and 12 hypertriglyceridemic subjects, whole plasma squalene correlated strongly with plasma triglyceride (r = 0.973, P < 0.001) in the latter.

Analysis of squalene accumulation. [PDF]
, 2014 Squalene was extracted from wild type and Δshc cultures and the extracts analyzed by HPLC using a squalene standard for identification and quantification of the squalene peak. The identity of the squalene peak was confirmed using GC-MS.

Overexpression of the Arabidopsis thaliana squalene synthase gene in Withania coagulans hairy root cultures [PDF]
, 2011 Squalene synthase (SS) dimerizes two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate to synthesize squalene, a shared precursor in steroid and triterpenoid biosynthesis in plants.
