| Systematic name: |
(2Z,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (+)-β-caryophyllene-forming] |
| Comments: |
A multifunctional enzyme which also converts the (+)-β-caryophyllene to (+)-caryolan-1-ol (see EC 4.2.1.138, (+)-caryolan-1-ol synthase). cf. EC 4.2.3.57 (–)-β-caryophyllene synthase. |
