Enzyme Information

4.2.3.38
Alpha-bisabolene synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt O81086
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (E)-alpha-bisabolene + diphosphate.
-!- While unlikely to encounter geranyl diphosphate (GDP) in vivo as it is localized to plastids, the enzyme can use GDP as a substrate in vitro to produce (+)-(4R)-limonene (cf. EC 4.2.3.20). -!- Induced as part of a defense mechanism in the grand fir Abies grandis as a response to stem wounding. -!- Formerly EC 4.2.3.n1.
