Parkeol synthase

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


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

The enzyme from rice (Oryza sativa) produces only parkeol.
