Enzyme Information

1.21.3.7
Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8GTB6
Cannabigerolate + O(2) = Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinolate + H(2)O(2).
-!- 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 Delta(9)-THCA with lower efficiency. -!- The traditional numbering called Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinolate, Delta(1)-tetrahydrocannabinolate. -!- Systematic peripheral numbering is now recommended.
