ENZYME entry: EC 4.2.3.227

Accepted Name
(-)-alpha-cedrene synthase
Reaction catalysed
(2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (-)-alpha-cedrene + diphosphate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme occurs in plants.
  • The initial cyclization product is a (7R)-beta-bisabolyl cation.
  • (-)-alpha-cedrene is one of the major products.
  • Other products are (+)-2-epi-prezizaene (cf. EC 4.2.3.226), small amounts of (+)-beta-curcumene, and other sesquiterpenes with less than 10% yield.
  • The enzyme from Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) also catalyzes the reaction of EC 4.2.3.61.
