Zingiberene synthase (EC 4.2.3.65, alpha-zingiberene synthase, ZIS) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (zingiberene-forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate \rightleftharpoons zingiberene + diphosphate
