caption_attribution_description: English: The crystal structure of oxidosqualene cyclase shown is colored by secondary structure, with its product, Lanosterol (turquoise) in the enzyme's central active site. The product's characteristic four rings are visible, as is the one hydroxyl group on the end of the molecule, which is red.
context_page_description: Oxidosqualene cyclases are enzymes involved in cyclization reactions of 2,3-oxidosqualene to form sterols or triterpenes.
