Neryl diphosphate diphosphatase
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.1 Acting on ester bonds > 3.1.7 Diphosphoric-monoester hydrolases > 3.1.7.13 neryl diphosphate diphosphatase
Neryl diphosphate diphosphatase is a monoterpene hydrolase characterised from Glycine max (soybean), specific for neryl diphosphate, which it hydrolyses into nerol and diphosphate. By releasing the cis-configured monoterpene alcohol it contributes to plant terpene volatile production and insect defence. It adopts a soluble terpene-diphosphatase fold.
