Gamma-terpinene synthase

γ-Terpinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.114, OvTPS2, ClcTS) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, γ-terpinene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * geranyl diphosphate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ γ-terpinene + diphosphate

This enzyme is isolated from Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Citrus limon (lemon), Citrus unshiu (satsuma) and Origanum vulgare (oregano).
