(-)-camphene synthase

(-)-camphene synthase (EC 4.2.3.117, CS) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, (-)-camphene-forming).^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

\rightleftharpoons

(-)-Camphene is the major product in Abies grandis (grand fir) with traces of other monoterpenoids.
