(+)-γ-Cadinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.92) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase ((+)-γ-cadinene-forming).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] (+)-γ-cadinene + diphosphate
The enzyme from the melon, Cucumis melo, forms mainly δ- and γ-cadinene.
