EC 4.2.3.26 Details
EC number
4.2.3.26
Accepted name
R-linalool synthase
Reaction
geranyl diphosphate + H2O = (3R)-linalool + diphosphate
Other name(s)
(3R)-linalool synthase, (–)-3R-linalool synthase
Systematic name
geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(3R)-linalool-forming]
CAS registry number
254993-26-5
Comment
Geranyl diphosphate cannot be replaced by isopentenyl diphosphate (3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl diphosphate), prenyl diphosphate, farnesyl diphosphate or geranylgeranyl diphosphate as substrate [1]. Requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity. Unlike many other monoterpene synthases, only a single product, (3R)-linalool, is formed.
