(+)-alpha-santalene synthase ((2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate cyclizing)

(+)-α-Santalene synthase ((2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate cyclizing) (EC 4.2.3.50, SBS) is an enzyme with systematic name (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate lyase (cyclizing; (+)-α-santalene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ (+)-α-santalene + diphosphate

The enzyme synthesizes a mixture of sesquiterpenoids from (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate.
