Glossary: (3E,7E)-dolathalia-3,7,11-triene = (7E,11E)-3,3,7,11,13a-pentamethy1-2,3,5,6,9,10,13,13a-octahydro-1H-benzo[11]annulene
Other name(s): TPS20 (gene name)
Systematic name: geranylgeranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (3E,7E)-dolathalia-3,7,11-triene-forming]
Comments: Isolated from an ecotype of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana from Cape Verde Islands. The enzyme also gives (3E,7E)-dolabella-3,7-dien-18-ol and traces of other terpenoids. cf. EC 4.2.3.167 dolabella-3,7-dien-18-ol synthase.
