Prenyl-diphosphatase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a prenyl-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.7.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

prenyl diphosphate + H₂O prenol + diphosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are prenyl diphosphate and H₂O, whereas its two products are prenol and diphosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on diphosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is prenyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include prenyl-pyrophosphatase, prenol pyrophosphatase, and prenylphosphatase.
