Enzyme Information

4.2.3.27
Isoprene synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9AR86
Dimethylallyl diphosphate = isoprene + diphosphate.
-!- Located in the chloroplast of isoprene-emitting plants, such as poplar and aspen, and may be activitated by light-dependent changes in chloroplast pH and Mg(2+) concentration.
