Sequence Length554
Gene NameTPS5A
OrganismZea mays (Maize)
EC Number4.2.3.102
Protein FunctionFUNCTION: Sesquiterpene synthase involved in the production after herbivore attack of a blend of volatiles that attracts natural enemies of herbivores. Converts farnesyl diphosphate to sesquithujene, (S)-beta-bisabolene, (Z)-alpha-bergamotene, sesquisabinene B and several minor products. Can also act in vitro as a monoterpene synthase, converting geranyl diphosphate to (S)-(-)-limonene, beta-myrcene and 11 other monoterpenes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15075399}.
PathwayPATHWAY: Secondary metabolite biosynthesis; terpenoid biosynthesis.
