In enzymology a cycloartenol synthase (EC 5.4.99.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(S)-23-epoxysqualene cycloartenolHence this enzyme has one substrate (S)-23-epoxysqualene and one product cycloartenol.This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases specifically those intramolecular transferases transferring other groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S)-23-epoxysqualene mutase (cyclizing cycloartenol-forming).
