The enzyme prenyl-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.7.1)^[1] catalyzes the reaction

prenyl diphosphate + H₂O

\rightleftharpoons

prenol + diphosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on diphosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is prenyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include prenyl-pyrophosphatase, prenol pyrophosphatase, and prenylphosphatase.
