摘要: Squalene is a natural triterpene and an important intermediate of sterol hopanoid biosynthesis in various types cell from bacteria to human. Synthesis further conversion squalene are key steps the metabolism sterols related components. Here we summarize recent knowledge biochemistry, its molecular properties, physiological effects. We compare biosynthetic pathways different describe biotechnological strategies isolate this lipid. Finally, applications nutrition, pharmacy, medicine discussed.
