Enzyme Information

2.5.1.-	Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups. based on mapping to UniProt Q12051
2.5.1.10	(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase. based on mapping to UniProt Q12051 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.
2.5.1.1	Dimethylallyltranstransferase. based on mapping to UniProt Q12051 Dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate. -!- Will not accept larger prenyl diphosphates as efficient donors.
2.5.1.29	Geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase. based on mapping to UniProt Q12051 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranylgeranyl diphosphate. -!- Some forms of this enzyme will also use geranyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate as donors; it will not use larger prenyl diphosphates as efficient donors.
