Onoceroid synthase is a bifunctional triterpene cyclase that cyclizes squalene with water into onoceroids such as 8alpha-hydroxypolypoda-13,17,21-triene, 3-deoxyachilleol A and tetraprenyl-beta-curcumene-derived products. It is found in Eukaryota and Bacteria. Structurally it is a squalene cyclase.
