(−)-alpha-terpineol synthase

(−)-α-Terpineol synthase (EC 4.2.3.111) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (−)-α-terpineol-forming]. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * geranyl diphosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ (−)-α-terpineol + diphosphate

The enzyme has been characterized from Vitis vinifera (grape).
