Germanicol synthase ({{EnzExplorer|5.4.99.34}}, RsM1, (S)-2,3-epoxysqualene mutase (cyclizing, germanicol-forming)) is an enzyme with systematic name (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualenee mutase (cyclizing, germanicol-forming).{{cite journal | vauthors = Basyuni M, Oku H, Tsujimoto E, Kinjo K, Baba S, Takara K | title = Triterpene synthases from the Okinawan mangrove tribe, Rhizophoraceae | journal = The FEBS Journal | volume = 274 | issue = 19 | pages = 5028–42 | date = October 2007 | pmid = 17803686 | doi = 10.1111/j.1742-4658.2007.06025.x | doi-access = free }} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene \rightleftharpoons germanicol

The enzyme produces germanicol, beta-amyrin and lupeol.
