(+)-alpha-pinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.121 (+)-alpha-pinene cyclase cyclase I) is an enzyme with system name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing (+)-alpha-pinene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction geranyl diphosphate (+)-alpha-pinene + diphosphateCyclase I of Salvia officinalis (sage) gives about equal parts (+)-alpha-pinene and (+)-camphene.
