(S)-2,3-epoxysqualene = lanosterol
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(+)
lanosterol + an acyl-CoA = lanosteryl ester + CoA
lanosteryl ester + H2O = lanosterol + a carboxylate + H(+)
