Farnesol 2-isomerase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a farnesol 2-isomerase (EC 5.2.1.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 2-trans,6-trans-farnesol
2-cis,6-trans-farnesol
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 2-trans,6-trans-farnesol, and one product, 2-cis,6-trans-farnesol.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically cis-trans isomerases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-trans,6-trans-farnesol 2-cis-trans-isomerase. This enzyme is also called farnesol isomerase.
