Enzyme Information

1.3.1.101
2,3-bis-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate reductase (NAD(P)H).
based on mapping to UniProt Q9HKS9
2,3-bis-(O-phytanyl)-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate + 8 NAD(P)(+) = 2,3-bis- (O-geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate + 8 NAD(P)H.
-!- The enzyme from the archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum is involved in the biosynthesis of membrane lipids. -!- In vivo the reaction occurs in the reverse direction with the formation of 2,3-bis-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate. -!- cf. EC 1.3.7.11.
