In enzymology a casbene synthase (EC 4.2.3.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactiongeranylgeranyl diphosphate casbene + diphosphateHence this enzyme has one substrate geranylgeranyl diphosphate and two products casbene and diphosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranylgeranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing casbene-forming).
