EC 5.3.99.6

Accepted name: allene-oxide cyclase

Reaction: (9Z)-(13S)-12,13-epoxyoctadeca-9,11,15-trienoate = (15Z)-12-oxophyto-10,15-dienoate

Systematic name: (9Z)-(13S)-12,13-epoxyoctadeca-9,11,15-trienoate isomerase (cyclizing)

Comments: Allene oxides formed by the action of EC 4.2.1.92 hydroperoxide dehydratase, are converted into cyclopentenone derivatives.
