ENTRY EC 2.5.1.29
NAME Farnesyltranstransferase
Geranylgeranyl-diphosphate synthase
CLASS Transferases
Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups
SYSNAME trans,trans-Farnesyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate
$ farnesyltranstransferase
REACTION trans,trans-Farnesyl diphosphate + Isopentenyl diphosphate =
Pyrophosphate + Geranylgeranyl diphosphate
SUBSTRATE trans,trans-Farnesyl diphosphate
Isopentenyl diphosphate
PRODUCT Pyrophosphate
Geranylgeranyl diphosphate
COMMENT Some forms of this enzyme will also use geranyl diphosphate and
dimethylallyl diphosphate as donors; it will not use larger
prenyl diphosphate as efficient donors.
