Levopimaradiene synthase (EC 4.2.3.32 PtTPS-LAS LPS copalyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [abieta-8(14)12-diene-forming]) is an enzyme with system name (+)-copalyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (abieta-8(14)12-diene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction (+)-copalyl diphosphate abieta-8(14)12-diene + diphosphateIn Ginkgo the enzyme catalyses the initial cyclization step in the biosynthesis of ginkgolides.
