Glossary: (3E,7E)-dolabella-3,7-dien-18-ol = 2-[(1R,3aR,5E,9E,12aR)-3a,6,10-trimethyl-1,2,3,3a,4,7,8,11,12,12a-decahydrocyclopenta[11]annulen-1-yl]propan-2-ol
Other name(s): TPS20 (gene name)
Systematic name: geranylgeranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (3E,7E)-dolabella-3,7-dien-18-ol-forming]
Comments: Isolated from an ecotype of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana from Cape Verde Islands. The enzyme also gives (3E,7E)-dolathalia-3,7,11-triene and traces of other terpenoids. cf. EC 4.2.3.168 dolathalia-3,7,11-triene synthase.
