Chrysanthemyl diphosphate synthase

In enzymology, a chrysanthemyl diphosphate synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * 2 dimethylallyl diphosphate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ diphosphate + chrysanthemyl diphosphate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, dimethylallyl diphosphate, and two products, diphosphate and chrysanthemyl diphosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dimethylallyl-diphosphate:dimethylallyl-diphosphate dimethylallyltransferase (chrysanthemyl-diphosphate-forming). This enzyme is also called CPPase.
