5-epi-α-Selinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.90, 8a-epi-α-selinene synthase, NP1) is an enzyme with systematic name (2Z,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, 5-epi-α-selinene-forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate 5-epi-α-selinene + diphosphate

This enzyme requires Mg2+.
