Other name(s):

NUDX1 (gene name)

Systematic name:

geranyl-diphosphate phosphohydrolase

Comments:

The enzyme, characterized from roses, is involved in a cytosolic pathway for the biosynthesis of free monoterpene alcohols that contribute to fragrance. In vitro the enzyme also acts on (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate.
