The enzyme myrcene synthase (EC 4.2.3.15) catalyzes the chemical reaction
- geranyl diphosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] myrcene + diphosphate
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (myrcene-forming). This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
