EC 4.2.3.34 Details
EC number
4.2.3.34
Accepted name
stemod-13(17)-ene synthase
Reaction
9α-copalyl diphosphate = stemod-13(17)-ene + diphosphate
Other name(s)
OsKSL11,
stemodene synthase
Systematic name
9α-copalyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [stemod-13(17)-ene-forming]
Comment
This enzyme catalyses the committed step in the biosynthesis of the stemodane family of diterpenoid secondary metabolites, some of which possess mild antiviral activity. The enzyme also produces stemod-12-ene and stemar-13-ene as minor products.
