Epi-cedrol synthase
Definition:
EC Tree > 4 Lyases > 4.2 Carbon-oxygen lyases > 4.2.3 Acting on phosphates > 4.2.3.39 epi-cedrol synthase
Epi-cedrol synthase is a Mg2+-activated sesquiterpene cyclase. Like many plant terpenoid synthases it makes many products from one substrate; the predominant product is the cyclic sesquiterpene alcohol 8-epi-cedrol, with minor products cedrol and olefins alpha-cedrene, beta-cedrene, (E)-beta-farnesene and (E)-alpha-bisabolene. With water it converts (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate into 8-epi-cedrol and diphosphate. Structurally it is a sesquiterpene cyclase.
