(−)-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

geranyl diphosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] (−)-camphene + diphosphate

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