IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 2.5.1.82

Names

Accepted name:
hexaprenyl diphosphate synthase [geranylgeranyl-diphosphate specific]
Other names:
(all-trans)-hexaprenyl-diphosphate synthase
hexaprenyl diphosphate synthase [ambiguous]
hexaprenyl pyrophosphate synthetase [ambiguous]
HexPS [ambiguous]
(all-E) hexaprenyl diphosphate synthase
HexPPs [ambiguous]
Systematic name:
geranylgeranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate transferase (adding 2 isopentenyl units)

Reaction

Cofactor

Comments:

The enzyme prefers geranylgeranyl diphosphate to farnesyl diphosphate as an allylic substrate and does not show activity for geranyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate. Requires Mg2+ [1].
