Entry
Name
farnesyl phosphate kinase
Class
Transferases;
Transferring phosphorus-containing groups;
Phosphotransferases with a phosphate group as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
CTP:(2E,6E)-farnesyl-phosphate phosphotransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
CTP + (2E,6E)-farnesyl phosphate = CDP + (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [RN:
R09850 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
The enzyme, found in plants and animals, is specific for CTP as phosphate donor. It does not use farnesol as substrate (cf. EC
2.7.1.216 , farnesol kinase).
History
