Tuberculosinol synthase (EC 3.1.7.8, Rv3378c) is an enzyme with systematic name tuberculosinyl diphosphate diphosphohydrolase (tuberculosinol forming).[2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

tuberculosinyl diphosphate + H2O \rightleftharpoons [tuberculosinol] + diphosphate

This enzyme is present in Mycobacterium that cause tuberculosis.
