Protein
(+)-alpha-pinene synthase, chloroplastic
Function
Involved in defensive oleoresin formation in conifers in response to insect attack or other injury. Involved in monoterpene (C10) olefins biosynthesis. Produces mainly (+)-alpha-pinene (97%) with a small amount of (-)-alpha-pinene (3%).
Similarity
Belongs to the terpene synthase family. Tpsd subfamily.
