EC 1.21.3.7 Details

show Brenda entry

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.
