(−)-gamma-cadinene synthase ((2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate cyclizing)

(−)-γ-Cadinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.62, (2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate cyclizing) ((−)-γ-cadinene cyclase) is an enzyme with the systematic name (2Z,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase ((−)-γ-cadinene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:


 * (2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ (−)-γ-cadinene + [diphosphate]

This enzyme is isolated from the liverwort Heteroscyphus planus.
