Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase

Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase (EC 1.21.3.7, THCA synthase, Delta1-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name cannabigerolate:oxygen oxidoreductase (cyclizing, Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinolate-forming).^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

cannabigerolate + O₂

\rightleftharpoons

Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinolate + H₂O₂

Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase is a flavoprotein (FAD).
