Geranylfarnesyl diphosphate synthase ( EC 2.5.1.81, FGPP synthase, (all-E) geranylfarnesyl diphosphate synthase, GFPS, Fgs) is an enzyme with systematic name geranylgeranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate transtransferase (adding 1 isopentenyl unit). [1] [2] [3] [4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- geranylgeranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate (2E,6E,10E,14E)- geranylfarnesyl diphosphate + diphosphate
The enzyme from Methanosarcina mazei is involved in biosynthesis of the polyprenyl side-chain of methanophenazine.
