Elisabethatriene synthase (EC 4.2.3.41, elisabethatriene cyclase) is an enzyme with systematic name geranylgeranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (elisabethatriene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geranylgeranyl diphosphate ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ elisabethatriene + diphosphate

This enzyme requires Mg or less efficiently Mn.
