Alpha-isocomene synthase is a sesquiterpene cyclase isolated from roots of Matricaria chamomilla var. recutita (chamomile). It cyclizes (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate into (-)-alpha-isocomene and diphosphate, also producing traces of five other sesquiterpenoids. Structurally it is a sesquiterpene cyclase.
