epi-cedrol synthase |
Ec Number: | 4.2.3.39 |
epi-Cedrol synthase (EC 4.2.3.39, 8-epicedrol synthase, epicedrol synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (8-epi-cedrol-forming).[1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O
8-
epi-cedrol +
diphosphateThis enzyme is activated by Mg2+.
