Enzyme Information
| 2.5.1.81 |
Geranylfarnesyl diphosphate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8PYS1
Geranylgeranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = (2E,6E,10E,14E)- geranylfarnesyl diphosphate + diphosphate.
-!- The enzyme from Methanosarcina mazei is involved in biosynthesis of the polyprenyl side-chain of methanophenazine, an electron carrier utilized for methanogenesis. -!- It prefers geranylgeranyl diphosphate and farnesyl diphosphate as allylic substrate. -!- The enzyme from Aeropyrum pernix prefers farnesyl diphosphate as allylic substrate. -!- The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of C(25)-C(25) membrane lipids. -!- Formerly EC 2.5.1.n2.
