Pinosylvin synthase (EC 2.3.1.146) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The enzyme combines one unit of cinnamoyl-CoA with three of malonyl-CoA to form the stilbene, pinosylvin, with coenzyme A and carbon dioxide as byproducts. The product is produced in response to fungal attack on the pine tree Pinus sylvestris.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is malonyl-CoA:cinnamoyl-CoA malonyltransferase (cyclizing). Other names in common use include stilbene synthase, and pine stilbene synthase.[3]
