EC 3.1.7.5     
Accepted name: geranylgeranyl diphosphate diphosphatase
Reaction: geranylgeranyl diphosphate + H2O = geranylgeraniol + diphosphate

Glossary: plaunotol = 18-hydroxygeranylgeraniol
Other name(s): geranylgeranyl diphosphate phosphatase
Systematic name: geranyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase
Comments: Involved in the biosynthesis of plaunotol. There are two isoenzymes with different ion requirements. Neither require Mg2+ but in addition PII is inhibited by Zn2+, Mn2+ and Co2+. It is not known which isoenzyme is involved in plaunotol biosynthesis.
