Superfamily Farnesyl Diphosphate Synthase
Functional Family Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase

Enzyme Information

2.5.1.1
Dimethylallyltranstransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt P14324
Dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate.
-!- Will not accept larger prenyl diphosphates as efficient donors.
2.5.1.10
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P14324
Geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + (2E,6E)- farnesyl diphosphate.
-!- Some forms of this enzyme will also use dimethylallyl diphosphate as a substrate. -!- The enzyme will not accept larger prenyl diphosphates as efficient donors.
