| Name | geranyltranstransferase activity |
| ID | GO_0004337 |
| collection_id | Molecular function |
| Exact synonym | farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase activity, farnesyl-diphosphate synthase activity |
| Description | Catalysis of the reaction: geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = 2-trans,6-trans-farnesyl diphosphate + diphosphate. |
| Related synonym | FPP synthetase activity, farnesyl diphosphate synthetase activity, farnesylpyrophosphate synthetase activity, geranyl transferase I, geranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate geranyltranstransferase activity, geranyltransferase activity |
| Comment | Note that this is the second step in the formation of farnesyl diphosphate. The first step is 'dimethylallyltransferase activity ; GO:0004161'. Consider also annotating to the biological process term 'farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process ; GO:0045337'. |
