EC 1.21.3.7 Details
EC number
1.21.3.7
Accepted name
tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase
Reaction
cannabigerolate + O2 = Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolate + H2O2
Other name(s)
THCA synthase, Δ1-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase
Systematic name
cannabigerolate:oxygen oxidoreductase (cyclizing, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolate-forming)
Comment
A flavoprotein (FAD). The cofactor is covalently bound. Part of the cannabinoids biosynthetic pathway in the plant Cannabis sativa. The enzyme can also convert cannabinerolate (the (Z)-isomer of cannabigerolate) to Δ9-THCA with lower efficiency. Whereas the product was originally called Δ1-tetrahydrocannabinolate, the recommended name according to systematic peripheral numbering is Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolate.
