Beta-cubebene synthase

β-Cubebene synthase (EC 4.2.3.128, cop4, Mg25) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, β-cubebene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ β-cubebene + diphosphate

Isolated from the fungus Coprinus cinereus.
