A new enzyme, geranylpyrophosphate:olivetolate geranyltransferase (GOT), the first enzyme in the biosynthesis of cannabinoids could be detected in extracts of young leaves of Cannabis sativa. The enzyme accepts geranylpyrophosphate (GPP) and to a lesser degree also nerylpyrophosphate (NPP) as a cosubstrate. It is, however, specific for olivetolic acid; its decarboxylation product olivetol is inactive as a prenyl acceptor.
一种新的酶,香叶基焦磷酸:橄榄酸香叶基转移酶(GOT),大麻素生物合成中的第一种酶,可在大麻幼叶提取物中检测到。该酶接受香叶基焦磷酸(GPP),在较小程度上也接受橙花基焦磷酸(NPP)作为共底物。然而,它对橄榄酸具有特异性;其脱羧产物橄榄醇作为异戊烯基受体无活性。
