Lupeol synthase

Lupeol synthase (, LUPI, BPW, RcLUS) is an enzyme with systematic name (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene mutase (cyclizing, lupeol-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


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

Also forms some beta-amyrin.
