Gene context of beta-Amyrin

  • Lupeol synthase is a multifunctional enzyme that forms other triterpene alcohols, including beta-amyrin, as minor products [19].
  • 2,3-Oxidosqualene cyclases (OSC) are enzymes which convert 2,3-oxidosqualene (OS) into polycyclic triterpenoids such as lanosterol, cycloartenol, and alpha- and beta-amyrin [20].
  • These results suggest that the triterpene mixture, alpha- and beta-amyrin has an analgesia inducing effect, possibly involving vanilloid receptor (TRPV1) and an opioid mechanism [18].
  • To elucidate the regulation of triterpenoid biosynthesis in G. glabra, the cDNA of lupeol synthase, an oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) responsible for betulinic acid biosynthesis, was cloned, and expression patterns of lupeol synthase and two additional OSCs, beta-amyrin synthase and cycloartenol synthase, were compared [21].
  • Protective effect of alpha- and beta-amyrin, a triterpene mixture from Protium heptaphyllum (Aubl.) March. trunk wood resin, against acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice [10].
