EC 1.8.3.6 Details
EC number
1.8.3.6
Accepted name
farnesylcysteine lyase
Reaction
S-(2E,6E)-farnesyl-L-cysteine + O2 + H2O = (2E,6E)-farnesal + L-cysteine + H2O2
Other name(s)
FC lyase,
FCLY
Systematic name
S-(2E,6E)-farnesyl-L-cysteine oxidase
Comment
A flavoprotein (FAD). In contrast to mammalian EC 1.8.3.5 (prenylcysteine oxidase) the farnesylcysteine lyase from Arabidopsis is specific for S-farnesyl-L-cysteine and shows no activity with S-geranylgeranyl-L-cysteine.
