Enzyme Information
| 2.5.1.82 |
Hexaprenyl diphosphate synthase (geranylgeranyl-diphosphate specific).
based on mapping to UniProt Q97W92
Geranylgeranyl diphosphate + 2 isopentenyl diphosphate = 2 diphosphate + all-trans-hexaprenyl diphosphate.
-!- The enzyme prefers geranylgeranyl diphosphate to farnesyl diphosphate as an allylic substrate and does not show activity for geranyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate. -!- Formerly EC 2.5.1.33.
