(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate lyase (cyclizing, (-)-beta-santalene-forming)
The enzyme synthesizes a mixture of sesquiterpenoids from (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate. As well as (-)-beta-santalene (+)-alpha-santalene and (-)-exo-alpha-bergamotene are formed with traces of (+)-epi-beta-santalene. See EC 4.2.3.82 [(+)-alpha-santalene synthase], and EC 4.2.3.81 [(-)-exo-alpha-bergamotene synthase].
