General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution MdOSC4 contains the highly conserved DCTAE motif, which is implicated in substrate binding, and six repeats of the QW motifs, typical of the triterpene synthase superfamily, sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis Malus domestica
metabolism analysis of biosynthetic pathway of triterpenic acids in apple fruits, overview Malus domestica
additional information analysis of triterpenes from apple fruits in a collection of 20 contrasting apple cultivars, expression patterns of triterpene-related genes in different apple cultivars, overview Malus domestica
physiological function the enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of pentacyclic triterpenes, which, in apple, account for 32-70% of the epicuticular waxes, depending on the cultivar Malus domestica
