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.
PATHWAY     PATH: MAP00100  Sterol biosynthesis
