EC 5.4.99.53     
Accepted name: marneral synthase
Reaction: (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene = marneral
For diagram of arabidiol, camellidiol and thalianol biosynthesis, click here
Systematic name: (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene mutase (cyclizing, marneral-forming)
Comments: Marneral is a triterpenoid formed by Grob fragmentation of the A ring of 2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene during cyclization.
