Arabidiol synthase

Arabidiol synthase (, PEN1 (gene), (S)-squalene-2,3-epoxide hydro-lyase (arabidiol forming)) is an enzyme with systematic name (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene hydro-lyase (arabidiol forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * arabidiol $$\rightleftharpoons$$ (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene + H2O

The reaction occurs in the reverse direction.
