Definition:

EC Tree > 5 Isomerases > 5.4 Intramolecular transferases > 5.4.99 Transferring other groups > 5.4.99.53 marneral synthase
Marneral synthase from Arabidopsis thaliana cyclizes (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene into marneral, a triterpenoid formed by Grob fragmentation of the A ring of 2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene during cyclization. Structurally it is an OSC.
