Geranyl-pyrophosphate—olivetolic acid geranyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.102, GOT) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate:olivetolate geranyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geranyl diphosphate + 2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentylbenzoate \rightleftharpoons diphosphate + cannabigerolate

Part of the cannabinoids biosynthetic pathway of the plant Cannabis sativa.
