EC 4.2.3.39 Details
EC number
4.2.3.39
Accepted name
epi-cedrol synthase
Reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O = 8-epi-cedrol + diphosphate
Other name(s)
8-epicedrol synthase, epicedrol synthase
Systematic name
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (8-epi-cedrol-forming)
Comment
The enzyme is activated by Mg2+ [2]. Similar to many other plant terpenoid synthases, this enzyme produces many products from a single substrate. The predominant product is the cyclic sesquiterpenoid alcohol, 8-epi-cedrol, with minor products including cedrol and the olefins α-cedrene, β-cedrene, (E)-β-farnesene and (E)-α-bisabolene [1].
