Santalene synthase

UniProtKB accession:  E3W202

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes a mixture of sesquiterpenoids from (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate in fragrance biosynthesis. Catalyzes the formation of alpha-santalene, beta-santalene, epi-beta-santalene and exo-alpha-bergamotene, as well as traces of alpha-farnesene and beta-farnesene. Also acts with (Z,Z)-farnesyl diphosphate isomer, producing alpha-endo-bergamotene, alpha-santalene, (Z)-beta-farnesene, epi-beta-santalene, and beta-santalene.
