Entry Name linalool dehydratase;
Class Lyases;BRITE hierarchy
Sysname (3S)-linalool hydro-lyase (myrcene-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB) (3S)-linalool = myrcene + H2O [RN:
R09702 ]
Reaction(KEGG) Substrate Product Comment In absence of oxygen the bifunctional linalool dehydratase-isomerase can catalyse in vitro two reactions, the hydration of myrcene to (3S)-linalool and the isomerization of (3S)-linalool to geraniol, the latter activity being classified as EC
5.4.4.4 , geraniol isomerase.
History EC 4.2.1.127 created 2011, modified 2012
