Accepted name: |
(E)-2-epi-β-caryophyllene synthase |
Reaction: |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (E)-2-epi-β-caryophyllene + diphosphate |
Other name(s): |
2-epi-(E)-β-caryophyllene synthase; SmMTPSL26 |
Systematic name: |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, (E)-2-epi-β-caryophyllene-forming) |
Comments: |
