Description
Isolated from the fungus Coprinus cinereus. The enzyme also forms (+)-Δ-cadinene, β-copaene, (+)-sativene and traces of several other sequiterpenoids. It is found in many higher plants such as Magnolia grandiflora (Southern Magnolia) together with germacrene A. See EC 4.2.3.13, (+)-Δ-cadinene synthase, EC 4.2.3.127, β-copaene synthase, EC 4.2.3.129, (+)-sativene synthase, and EC 4.2.3.23, germacrene A synthase.
