Accepted name: cycloeucalenol cycloisomerase
Reaction: cycloeucalenol = obtusifoliol

Other name(s): cycloeucalenol—obtusifoliol isomerase; cycloeucalenol lyase (cyclopropane-decyclizing)
Systematic name: cycloeucalenol lyase (cyclopropane-ring opening)
Comments: Opens the cyclopropane ring of a number of related 4α-methyl-9β-19-cyclosterols, but not those with a 4β-methyl group, with formation of an 8(9) double bond. Involved in the synthesis of plant sterols.
