Baruol synthase

Baruol synthase (, BARS1) is an enzyme with systematic name (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene mutase (cyclizing, baruol-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene $$\rightleftharpoons$$ baruol

The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana also produces traces of 22 other triterpenoids.
