The mammalian EMC in membrane protein biogenesis by Volkmar, N

“…Sensitivity to cholesterol loss in EMC6 knockout cells was reproduced by direct deletion or pharmacological inhibition of SQS. mEMC depletion also caused imbalances in the mevalonate pathway, likely leading to increased shunting of the farnesyl pyrophosphate precursor into the isoprenoid pathway, increasing the detection of prenylated proteins. …”
