Casbene synthase
The enzyme casbene synthase catalyzes the chemical reaction
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranylgeranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase . Other names in common use include casbene synthetase, and geranylgeranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase . This enzyme participates in diterpenoid biosynthesis.
