(−)-endo-alpha-bergamotene synthase ((2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate cyclizing)

(+)-endo-α-Bergamotene synthase (EC 4.2.3.54, (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate cyclizing) (SBS) is an enzyme with systematic name (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate lyase (cyclizing; (+)-endo-α-bergamotene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate (−)-endo-α-bergamotene + diphosphate

The enzyme synthesizes a mixture of sesquiterpenoids from (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate.
