IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 2.5.1.10

Names

Accepted name:
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase
Other names:
farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase
farnesyl-diphosphate synthase
farnesylpyrophosphate synthetase
geranyl transferase I
prenyltransferase
FPP synthetase
geranyltranstransferase
Systematic name:
geranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate geranyltranstransferase

Reaction

Comments:

Some forms of this enzyme will also use dimethylallyl diphosphate as a substrate. The enzyme will not accept larger prenyl diphosphates as efficient donors.
