Glossary: 2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate = olivetolate
cannabigerolate = CBGA = 3-[(2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl]-2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate
cannabinerolate = 3-[(2Z)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl]-2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate
Other name(s): GOT (ambiguous)
Systematic name: geranyl-diphosphate:olivetolate geranyltransferase
Comments: Part of the cannabinoids biosynthetic pathway of the plant Cannabis sativa. The enzyme can also use neryl diphosphate as substrate, forming cannabinerolate.
