Pinene synthase

Pinene synthase

In enzymology, a pinene synthase (EC number|4.2.3.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:geranyl diphosphate ightleftharpoons pinene + diphosphate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, geranyl diphosphate, and two products, pinene and diphosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, pinene-forming). Other names in common use include beta-geraniolene synthase, (-)-(1S,5S)-pinene synthase, and geranyldiphosphate diphosphate lyase (pinene forming). This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
