Reaction(KEGG)
R10493
Substrate
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:C00448];

Comment
Isolated from the root of the plant Thapsia garganica. The enzyme also produces germacrene D, bicyclogermacrene and traces of other sesquiterpenoids. See EC 4.2.3.77, (+)-germacrene D synthase and EC 4.2.3.100, bicyclogermacrene synthase.
