Ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase

In enzymology, an ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase (EC number|5.5.1.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:geranylgeranyl diphosphate $ightleftharpoons$ ent-copalyl diphosphate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, geranylgeranyl diphosphate, and one product, ent-copalyl diphosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically the class of intramolecular lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ent-copalyl-diphosphate lyase (decyclizing). Other names in common use include ent-kaurene synthase A, and ent-kaurene synthetase A. This enzyme participates in diterpenoid biosynthesis.
