metabolism | the enzyme catalyzes the first step in the biosynthetic pathway for ginsenosides in Panax ginseng, overview | Panax ginseng |
physiological function | dammarenediol-II synthase catalyzes the cyclization of 2,3-oxidosqualene to dammarenediol-II, which is the basic triterpene skeleton in dammarene-type saponin (ginsenosides) in Panax ginseng. Dammarenediol-II is present in the roots of Panax ginseng in trace amounts because it is an intermediate product in triterpene biosynthesis | Panax ginseng |
