(+)-α-Terpineol synthase (EC 4.2.3.112) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (+)-α-terpineol-forming].[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geranyl diphosphate + H2O (+)-α-terpineol + diphosphate

The enzyme has been characterized from Santalum album (sandalwood).
