Farnesyl diphosphatase

Farnesyl diphosphatase (EC 3.1.7.6, FPP phosphatase) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase.^[1]^[2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H₂O

\rightleftharpoons

(2E,6E)-farnesol + diphosphate

The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of acyclic sesquiterpenoids.
