EC	1.21.3.7
Accepted name:	tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase
Reaction:	cannabigerolate + O2 = Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolate + H2O2
Glossary:	Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolate = Δ9-THCA = (6aR,10aR)-1-hydroxy-6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6a,7,8,10a-tetrahydro-6H-benzo[c]chromene-2-carboxylate cannabigerolate = CBGA = 3-[(2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl]-2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate cannabinerolate = 3-[(2Z)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl]-2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate
Other name(s):	THCA synthase; Δ1-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase
Systematic name:	cannabigerolate:oxygen oxidoreductase (cyclizing, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolate-forming)
Comments:	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.

Accepted name:	geranyl-pyrophosphate—olivetolic acid geranyltransferase
Reaction:	geranyl diphosphate + 2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate = diphosphate + cannabigerolate
Glossary:	2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate = olivetolate cannabigerolate = CBGA = 3-[(2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl]-2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate cannabinerolate = 3-[(2Z)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl]-2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate
