Myrcene synthase


In enzymology, a myrcene synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, geranyl diphosphate, and two products, myrcene and diphosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase . This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
