Glossary: cyclooctat-9-en-7-ol = (1S,3aS,4R,7S,9aS,10aS)-1,4,9a-trimethyl-7-(propan-2-yl)-1,2,3,3a,4,5,7,8,9,9a,10,10a-dodecahydrodicyclopenta[a,d][8]annulen-4-ol
Other name(s): cetB2
Systematic name: geranylgeranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclooctat-9-en-7-ol-forming)
Comments: Requires Mg2+. Isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces melanosporofaciens, where it is part of the biosynthesis of cyclooctatin, a potent inhibitor of lysophospholipase.
