Botryococcene synthase (EC 1.3.1.97, SSL-3 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name C30 botryococcene:NADP oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

C30 botryococcene + NADP + diphosphate {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } presqualene diphosphate + NADPH + H

This enzyme is isolated from the green alga Botryococcus braunii BOT22.
