Template:Short description Template:Lower-case title Template:Infobox enzyme α-Amyrin synthase (Template:EnzExplorer, 2,3-oxidosqualene alpha-amyrin cyclase, mixed amyrin synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene mutase (cyclizing, alpha-amyrin-forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene alpha-amyrin
This multifunctional enzyme produces both alpha- and beta-amyrin.
