UniProtKB accession:  A9JQL9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the biosynthesis of the yellow-orange carotenoid staphyloxanthin, which plays a role in the virulence via its protective function against oxidative stress. Catalyzes the head-to-head condensation of two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) into the colorless C(30) carotenoid 4,4'-diapophytoene (dehydrosqualene).
