Sysname
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate:3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl-diphosphate farnesyltranstransferase (adding 3 units of 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl)
The enzyme prefers farnesyl diphosphate to geranylgeranyl diphosphate as an allylic substrate and does not show activity for geranyl diphosphate and prenyl diphosphate [1].
