IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 2.5.1.90

Names

Accepted name:
all-trans-octaprenyl-diphosphate synthase
Other names:
octaprenyl-diphosphate synthase
octaprenyl pyrophosphate synthetase
polyprenylpyrophosphate synthetase
terpenoidallyltransferase
terpenyl pyrophosphate synthetase
trans-heptaprenyltranstransferase
trans-prenyltransferase
Systematic name:
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate farnesyltranstransferase (adding 5 isopentenyl units)

Reaction

Comments:

This enzyme catalyses the condensation reactions resulting in the formation of all-trans-octaprenyl diphosphate, the isoprenoid side chain of ubiquinone-8 and menaquinone-8. The enzyme adds five isopentenyl diphosphate molecules sequentially to farnesyl diphosphate with trans stereochemistry.
