Isotuberculosinol synthase (EC 3.1.7.9, Rv3378c) is an enzyme with systematic name tuberculosinyl diphosphate diphosphohydrolase (isotuberculosinol forming).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

tuberculosinyl diphosphate + H2O (13S)-isotuberculosinol + diphosphate

This enzyme is present in species of Mycobacterium that cause tuberculosis.
