BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (alpha-longipinene-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = alpha-longipinene + diphosphate [RN:
R10726 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:

Product
Comment
The enzyme from Norway spruce produces longifolene as the main product (cf. EC
4.2.3.58 , longifolene synthase). alpha-Longipinene constitutes about 15% of the total products.
History
