α-seco-amyrin synthase ( EC 5.4.99.52) is an enzyme with systematic name (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene mutase (cyclizing, alpha-seco-amyrin-forming). [1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene alpha-seco-amyrin

The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana is multifunctional.
