In enzymology, a myrcene synthase (EC 4.2.3.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- geranyl diphosphate
myrcene + diphosphate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, geranyl diphosphate, and two products, myrcene and diphosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (myrcene-forming). This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
