EC 3.1.7.11 Details
EC number
3.1.7.11
Accepted name
geranyl diphosphate diphosphatase
Reaction
geranyl diphosphate + H2O = geraniol + diphosphate
Other name(s)
geraniol synthase, geranyl pyrophosphate pyrophosphatase, GES, CtGES
Systematic name
geranyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase
Comment
Isolated from Ocimum basilicum (basil) and Cinnamomum tenuipile (camphor tree). Requires Mg2+ or Mn2+. Geraniol is labelled when formed in the presence of [18O]H2O. Thus mechanism involves a geranyl cation [1]. Neryl diphosphate is hydrolysed more slowly. May be the same as EC 3.1.7.3 monoterpenyl-diphosphatase.
