Phytoene - Wikipedia
Phytoene (/ ˈ f aɪ t oʊ iː n /) is a 40-carbon intermediate in the biosynthesis of carotenoids. [1] The synthesis of phytoene is the first committed step in the synthesis of carotenoids in plants. Phytoene is produced from two molecules of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) by the action of the enzyme phytoene synthase. [2]
