(2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P9WFF5
Geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + (2Z,6E)- farnesyl diphosphate.
-!- The product of this reaction is an intermediate in the synthesis of decaprenyl phosphate, which plays a central role in the biosynthesis of most features of the mycobacterial cell wall, including peptidoglycan, linker unit galactan and arabinan. -!- Neryl diphosphate can also act as substrate.
