Alpha-humulene synthase
Definition:
EC Tree > 4 Lyases > 4.2 Carbon-oxygen lyases > 4.2.3 Acting on phosphates > 4.2.3.104 alpha-humulene synthase
Alpha-humulene synthase is a class I sesquiterpene cyclase from Zingiber zerumbet (shampoo ginger). It cyclizes (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate mainly into alpha-humulene (alpha-caryophyllene) plus diphosphate, with traces of beta-caryophyllene. It is found in Eukaryota and Bacteria. Structurally it is a sesquiterpene cyclase.
