Name | dimethylallyltranstransferase activity |
ID | GO_0004161 |
collection_id | Molecular function |
Exact synonym | dimethylallyltransferase activity, geranyl diphosphate synthase |
Description | Catalysis of the reaction: dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate. |
Related synonym | (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthetase activity, DMAPP:IPP-dimethylallyltransferase activity, dimethylallyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate dimethylallyltranstransferase activity, diprenyltransferase activity, geranyl pyrophosphate synthase activity, geranyl pyrophosphate synthetase activity, geranyl-diphosphate synthase activity, trans-farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase activity |
Comment | Note that this is the first step in the formation of farnesyl diphosphate. The second step is 'geranyltranstransferase activity ; GO:0004337'. Consider also annotating to the biological process term 'farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process ; GO:0045337'. |
