Protein
Linoleate 10R-lipoxygenase COP4
Organism
Coprinopsis cinerea (strain Okayama-7 / 130 / ATCC MYA-4618 / FGSC 9003)
Function
Sesquiterpene synthase that catalyzes the cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) into multiple products, including germacrene D, beta-copaene, beta-cubebene, (+)-sativene and cubebol, a natural sesquiterpene alcohol used in the food industry for its cooling and refreshing taste. Terpenoid hydrocarbons resulting from cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate are intermediates in the biosynthesis of biologically active compounds such as antibiotics, toxins and pheromones.
Similarity
Belongs to the terpene synthase family.
