α-Longipinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.80) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (α-longipinene-forming).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] α-longipinene + diphosphate
The enzyme from Norway spruce produces longifolene as the main product.
