Ontology Term : Pfam:PF04864 Allinase EMBL-EBI

Description  Allicin is a thiosulphinate that gives rise to dithiines, allyl sulphides and ajoenes, the three groups of active compounds in Allium species. Allicin is synthesised from sulfoxide cysteine derivatives by alliinase (EC:4.4.1.4), whose C-S lyase activity cleaves C(beta)-S(gamma) bonds. It is thought that this enzyme forms part of a primitive plant defence system.
