Selina-4(15),7(11)-diene synthase ((2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate cyclizing)

UniProtKB accession:  B5HDJ6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the conversion of (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to yield the bicyclic sesquiterpene selina-4(15),7(11)-diene via a 1,10-cyclization, which requires the abstraction of the pyrophosphate from FPP leading to a (E,E)-germacradienyl cation (PubMed:23307484, PubMed:24890698). The only accepted substrate is (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) (PubMed:23307484, PubMed:24890698).
