Farnesyl diphosphatase (EC 3.1.7.6, FPP phosphatase) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase. It catalyses the reaction
The enzyme characterised from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and rats hydrolyses farnesyl pyrophosphate to (2E,6E) farnesol and pyrophosphate (PPi). The reaction is part of the biosynthesis of acyclic sesquiterpenoids.
