Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase (THCAS) is an enzyme primarily found in the cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa). It plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), which is the acidic precursor to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the well-known psychoactive compound in cannabis.
