show Brenda entryEC number
4.2.3.92
Accepted name
(+)-γ-cadinene synthase
Reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (+)-γ-cadinene + diphosphate
Systematic name
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(+)-γ-cadinene-forming]
Comment
The cloned enzyme from the melon, Cucumis melo, gave mainly δ- and γ-cadinene with traces of several other sesquiterpenoids cf. EC 4.2.3.62 (-)-γ-cadinene synthase [(2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate cyclizing]; EC 4.2.3.13 (+)-δ-cadinene synthase.
