ent-Copalyl diphosphate synthase
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Enzymology/DSI1Fh7y">enzymology</a>, an <i>ent</i>-copalyl diphosphate synthase (<a href="/facts/Enzyme_Commission_number/Y5GNLRKX">EC</a> <a href="https://www.enzyme-database.org/query.php?ec=5.5.1.13">5.5.1.13</a>) is an <a href="/facts/Enzyme/DSI1Fh7y">enzyme</a> that <a href="/facts/Catalysis/LPBS7TQC">catalyzes</a> the <a href="/facts/Chemical_reaction/GpqWlKrz">chemical reaction</a>: </p><p>Hence, this enzyme has one <a href="/facts/Substrate_(biochemistry)/6MnaV19h">substrate</a>, <a href="/facts/Geranylgeranyl_pyrophosphate/ShLNHtbI">geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate</a>, and one <a href="/facts/Product_(chemistry)/8uCoDUdv">product</a>, ent-copalyl pyrophosphate. This enzyme participates in <a href="/facts/Gibberellin/aylcEBCH">gibberellin</a> <a href="/facts/Biosynthesis/aFk7Tk7f">biosynthesis</a>. </p><p>This enzyme belongs to the family of <a href="/facts/Isomerase/DtUWnvle">isomerases</a>, specifically the class of intramolecular <a href="/facts/Lyase/Ll2jFfhU">lyases</a>. The <a href="/facts/List_of_enzymes/w2RP6EwU">systematic name</a> of this enzyme class is <i>ent</i>-copalyl-diphosphate lyase (decyclizing). Other names in common use include <i>ent</i>-kaurene synthase A, and <i>ent</i>-kaurene synthetase A. </p>
