Cloning and functional characterization of the β-amyrin synthase genefrom Bupleurum chinense
Bupleurum chinense DC., a source of the traditional Chinese medicine Bupleuri Radix, is rich in triterpenoid saikosaponins with high pharmacological activities. The enzyme β-amyrin synthase (BAS), which converts the precursor 2,3-oxidosqualene to produce the triterpene skeleton, is crucial for the b...
