7-epi-alpha-selinene synthase

7-epi-alpha-selinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.86) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (7-epi-alpha-selinene-forming).^[1]^[2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate

\rightleftharpoons

7-epi-alpha-selinene + diphosphate

The recombinant enzyme from Vitis vinifera forms (+)-valencene and (-)-7-epi-alpha-selinene.
