Beta-santalene Synthase

β-Santalene synthase (EC 4.2.3.83) is an enzyme with systematic name (2''E'',6''E'')-farnesyl diphosphate lyase (cyclizing, (–)-β-santalene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: (2''E'',6''E'')-farnesyl diphosphate $\rightleftharpoons$ (–)-β-santalene + diphosphate

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