Uses
Farnesylcysteine (FC) is a competitive inhibitor of ICMT. The fcly mutant has quantitatively low farnesylcysteine (FC) lyase activity and an enhanced response to ABA. Farnesylcysteine induces an ABA hypersensitive phenotype in Arabidopsis thaliana[1].
Definition
ChEBI: An S-farnesyl-L-cysteine where the C2C double bonds at the 2- and 6-positions both have (E)-configuration.
