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
.
