| Glossary: |
(Z)-β-ocimene = (3Z)-3,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene |
| Other name(s): |
CsTPS13PK (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
geranyl diphosphate diphosphate lyase [(Z)-β-ocimene-forming] |
| Comments: |
The enzyme occurs in flowers (pistillate inflorescences) of Cannabis sativa. The enzyme encoded by CsTPS13PK produces 94% (Z)-β-ocimene from geranyl diphosphate. cf. EC 4.2.3.106, (E)-β-ocimene synthase. |
