Systematic name: |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, (+)-sativene-forming) |
Comments: |
Isolated from the fungus Coprinus cinereus. The enzyme also forms (+)-δ-cadinene, β-copaene, β-cubebene, and traces of several other sequiterpenoids. See EC 4.2.3.13, (+)-δ-cadinene synthase, EC 4.2.3.127, β-copaene synthase, and EC 4.2.3.128, β-cubebene synthase. |
