Protein Function | FUNCTION: Sesquiterpene synthase involved in the production after herbivore attack of a blend of volatiles that attracts natural enemies of herbivores. Converts farnesyl diphosphate to (S)-beta-bisabolene and 7-epi-sesquithujene, along with a mixture of more than 20 other minor sesquiterpene olefins. 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}. |
Pathway | PATHWAY: Secondary metabolite biosynthesis; terpenoid biosynthesis. |
