Sysname
9alpha-copalyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [stemod-13(17)-ene-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
9alpha-copalyl diphosphate = stemod-13(17)-ene + diphosphate [RN:
R09116 ]
Reaction(KEGG)

Product
Comment
This enzyme catalyses the committed step in the biosynthesis of the stemodane family of diterpenoid secondary metabolites, some of which possess mild antiviral activity. The enzyme also produces stemod-12-ene and stemar-13-ene as minor products.
