Epi-cedrol synthase

epi-Cedrol synthase (EC 4.2.3.39, 8-epicedrol synthase, epicedrol synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (8-epi-cedrol-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 8-epi-cedrol + diphosphate

This enzyme is activated by Mg2+.
