As of 2026-09-13Squalene synthase shows late clinical disease relevance led by Disorder of lipid metabolism. 3 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug keeps the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P37268. Start with Disorder of lipid metabolism, then reuse UniProt P37268 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.
Squalene synthase shows late clinical disease relevance led by Disorder of lipid metabolism. 3 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.
Start review with Disorder of lipid metabolism because it currently carries late clinical support. Linked drugs include LAPAQUISTAT ACETATE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.

Keep the review anchor, source IDs, and context contract aligned before reusing this target elsewhere.
This review treats Squalene synthase as ChEMBL target CHEMBL3338, mapped to UniProt P37268. Disease framing currently uses the Open Targets-ready proxy contract.
Reuse the same identifiers in notes, watch rules, exports, and review packs so provenance stays stable across surfaces.
