Functional Family Geranyl diphosphate 2-C-methyltransferase

Enzyme Information

2.1.1.255
Geranyl diphosphate 2-C-methyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt D3KYU3
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + geranyl diphosphate = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + (E)-2-methylgeranyl diphosphate.
-!- This enzyme, along with EC 4.2.3.118, produces 2-methylisoborneol, an odiferous compound produced by soil microorganisms with a strong earthy/musty odor. -!- Formerly EC 2.1.1.n6.
