Terpinolene synthase (EC 4.2.3.113, ag9, PmeTPS2, LaLIMS_RR) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, terpinolene-forming). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geranyl diphosphate terpinolene + diphosphate

This enzyme requires Mg2+.
