Lupeol synthase (EC 5.4.99.41, LUPI, BPW, RcLUS) is an enzyme with systematic name (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene mutase (cyclizing, lupeol-forming). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene lupeol

It also forms some beta-amyrin.
