Beta-amyrin synthase

β-amyrin synthase (EC 5.4.99.39, 2,3-oxidosqualene beta-amyrin cyclase, AsbAS1, BPY, EtAS, GgbAS1, LjAMY1, MtAMY1, PNY, BgbAS) is an enzyme with systematic name (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene mutase (cyclizing, beta-amyrin-forming).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
