EC | 4.2.3.198 | ||||
Accepted name: | α-selinene synthase | ||||

Glossary: | α-selinene = (2R,4aR,8aS)-4,8a-dimethyl-2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,8a-octahydronaphthalene β-selinene = (4aR,7R,8aS)-4a-methyl-1-methylidene-7-(prop-1-en-2-yl)decahydronaphthalene aromadendrene = (1aR,4aR,7R,7aR,7bS)-1,1,7-trimethyl-4-methylidenedecahydro-1H-cyclopropa[e]azulene |
||||
Other name(s): | LfTPS2 (gene name) | ||||
Systematic name: | (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, α-selinene-forming) | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme from the plant Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil) also produces β-selinene while that from Liquidambar formosana (Formosan sweet gum) also produces traces of aromadendrene. | ||||
