7-epi-sesquithujene synthase (EC 4.2.3.101, TPS4-B73) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (7-epi-sesquithujene-forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate 7-epi-sesquithujene + diphosphate

The enzyme from Zea mays, variety B73, gives mainly 7-epi-sesquithujene.
