Valencene synthase

556 amino acids

Involved in the biosynthesis of valencene, a major volatile emitted from flowers of grapevine. Can use farnesyl diphosphate as substrate, but not geranyl diphosphate or geranylgeranyl diphosphate. Produces mainly (+)-valencene and (-)-7-epi-alpha-selinene along with five minor products.

Belongs to the terpene synthase family. Tpsa subfamily.
