- squalene,NADPH-hemoprotein:oxygen oxidoreductase (2,3-epoxidizing)
- (S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene mutase (cyclizing, lanosterol-forming)
- lanosterol + 3 reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + 3 O2 = 4,4-dimethyl-5alpha-cholesta-8,14,24-trien-3beta-ol + formate + 3 oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + 4 H2O + 4 H(+)
