BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
(3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene hydro-lyase (lupan-3beta,20-diol-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
lupan-3beta,20-diol = (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene + H2O [RN:
R09743 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
lupan-3beta,20-diol [CPD:
C19863 ]
Product
(3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene [CPD:
C01054 ];
H2O [CPD:
C00001 ]
Comment
The reaction occurs in the reverse direction. The recombinant enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana gives a 1:1 mixture of lupeol and lupan-3beta,20-diol with small amounts of beta-amyrin, germanicol, taraxasterol and psi-taraxasterol. See EC
5.4.99.41 (lupeol synthase).
