Entry
Name
(4S)-beta-phellandrene synthase (geranyl-diphosphate-cyclizing);
phellandrene synthase;
(-)-beta-phellandrene synthase;
(-)-(4S)-beta-phellandrene synthase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing; (4S)-beta-phellandrene-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
geranyl diphosphate = (4S)-beta-phellandrene + diphosphate
Substrate
geranyl diphosphate [CPD:
C00341 ]
Product
(4S)-beta-phellandrene;
diphosphate [CPD:
C00013 ]
Comment
Requires Mn2+. Mg2+ is not effective [1]. Some (-)-alpha-phellandrene is also formed [3]. The reaction involves a 1,3-hydride shift [4].
