The enzyme monoterpenyl-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.7.3)[1] catalyzes the reaction
- a monoterpenyl diphosphate + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] a monoterpenol + diphosphate
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on diphosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is monoterpenyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include bornyl pyrophosphate hydrolase and monoterpenyl-pyrophosphatase.
