UniProtKB accession:  Q8GTB6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Oxidoreductase involved in the biosynthesis of cannabinoids-related terpenophenolic natural products, which have pharmacological activity (PubMed:15190053, PubMed:17669365, Ref.4). Catalyzes the oxidative cyclization of the monoterpene moiety in cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), producing delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinolate (THCA), the major cannabioid in drug-type Cannabis plants (PubMed:15190053, PubMed:17669365, Ref.4). Can also use cannabinerolic acid as substrate, but not cannabigerol or cannabinerol (PubMed:15190053, PubMed:17669365, Ref.4).
