EC 5.4.99.52     
Accepted name: α-seco-amyrin synthase
Reaction: (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene = α-seco-amyrin
For diagram of α-amyrin, α-seco-amyrin and germanicol biosynthesis, click here
Glossary: α-seco-amyrin = 8,14-secoursa-7,13-diene-3β-ol
Systematic name: (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene mutase (cyclizing, α-seco-amyrin-forming)
Comments: The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana is multifunctional and produces about equal amounts of α- and β-seco-amyrin. See EC 5.4.99.54, β-seco-amyrin synthase.
