Fusicocca-2,10(14)-diene synthase (EC 4.2.3.43, fusicoccadiene synthase, PaFS, PaDC4) is an enzyme with systematic name geranylgeranyl diphosphate-lyase (fusicocca-2,10(14)-diene-forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geranylgeranyl diphosphate \rightleftharpoons fusicocca-2,10(14)-diene + diphosphate

This multifunctional enzyme also has EC 2.5.1.29, farnesyltranstransferase, activity.
