EC 3.1.7.3     
Accepted name: monoterpenyl-diphosphatase
Reaction: a monoterpenyl diphosphate + H2O = a monoterpenol + diphosphate

Other name(s): bornyl pyrophosphate hydrolase; monoterpenyl-pyrophosphatase
Systematic name: monoterpenyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase
Comments: A group of enzymes with varying specificity for the monoterpenol moiety. One has the highest activity on sterically hindered compounds such as (+)-bornyl diphosphate; another has highest activity on the diphosphates of primary allylic alcohols such as geraniol.
