In enzymology, a psoralen synthase (EC 1.14.13.102) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(+)-marmesin + NADPH + H⁺ + O₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ psoralen + NADP⁺ + acetone + 2 H₂O

The 4 substrates of this enzyme are (+)-marmesin, NADPH, H⁺, and O₂, whereas its 4 products are psoralen, NADP⁺, acetone, and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O₂ as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O₂ with NADH or NADPH as one donor, and incorporation of one atom o oxygen into the other donor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (?). This enzyme is also called CYP71AJ1.
