Background
This gene is a member of the prenyltransferase family and encodes a protein with geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) synthase activity. The enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of GGPP from farnesyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate. GGPP is an important molecule responsible for the C20-prenylation of proteins and for the regulation of a nuclear hormone receptor. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, both protein-coding and non-protein-coding, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010],
Function
catalytic activity:Dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate.,catalytic activity:Geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate.,catalytic activity:Trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranylgeranyl diphosphate.,function:Catalyzes the trans-addition of the three molecules of IPP onto DMAPP to form geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, an important precursor of carotenoids and geranylated proteins.,pathway:Isoprenoid biosynthesis; farnesyl-PP biosynthesis; farnesyl-PP from geranyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1.,pathway:Isoprenoid biosynthesis; geranyl-PP biosynthesis; geranyl-PP from dimethylallyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1.,pathway:Isoprenoid biosynthesis; geranylgeranyl-PP biosynthesis; geranylgeranyl-PP from farnesyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1.,simila
