geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthetase;
geranylgeranyl-PP synthetase;
farnesyltransferase;
geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase;
farnesyltranstransferase (obsolete)
|
Class |
Transferases;
Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups;
Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups (only sub-subclass identified to date)
|
Sysname |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate farnesyltranstransferase
|
Reaction(IUBMB) |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranylgeranyl diphosphate [RN: R02061]
|
Reaction(KEGG) |
|
Substrate |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD: C00448];
isopentenyl diphosphate [CPD: C00129]
|
Product |
diphosphate [CPD: C00013];
geranylgeranyl diphosphate [CPD: C00353]
|
Comment |
Some forms of this enzyme will also use geranyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate as donors; it will not use larger prenyl diphosphates as efficient donors.
