| Product Name | (R)-limonene synthase |
| Example Structure |  |
| Synonyms | (+)-limonene synthase, (+)-LS, (R)-limonene synthase, CitMTSE1, CitMTSE2, Cl(+)LIMS1, Cl(+)LIMS2, d-limonene synthase, D-limonene synthase 2, dLMS, LaLIMS, limonene synthase, LIMS, LS3 |
| EC Number | 4.2.3.20 |
| CAS Registry Number | |
| Comments | Forms the first step of carvone biosynthesis in caraway. The enzyme from?Carum carvi?(caraway) seeds requires a divalent metal ion (preferably Mn2+) for catalysis. This enzyme occurs in?Citrus,?Carum?(caraway) and?Anethum?(dill); (?)-limonene, however, is made in the fir,?Abies, and mint,?Mentha, by EC?4.2.3.16, (4S)-limonene synthase. |
| Cofactor | Mn2+ |
