| Accepted name: |
somaliensene B synthase |
| Reaction: |
geranylfarnesyl diphosphate = (–)-somaliensene B + diphosphate |
| Glossary: |
(–)-somaliensene B = (4S)-1-methyl-4-[(5E,9E,13E)-6,10,14-trimethylpentadeca-1,5,9,13-tetraen-2-yl]cyclohex-1-ene |
| Other name(s): |
stsC (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
geranylfarnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, (–)-somaliensene B-forming) |
| Comments: |
A sesterterpenoid synthase enzyme isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces somaliensis. The enzyme also produces somaliensene A (cf. EC 4.2.3.216, somaliensene A synthase). |
