(−)-endo-fenchol synthase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme (−)-endo-Fenchol synthase (EC 4.2.3.10) catalyzes the chemical reaction

geranyl diphosphate + HTemplate:SubO $\rightleftharpoons$ (−)-endo-fenchol + diphosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (−)-endo-fenchol-forming]. Other names in common use include (−)-endo-fenchol cyclase, and geranyl pyrophosphate:(−)-endo-fenchol cyclase. This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
