| Name | protein farnesyltransferase activity |
| ID | GO_0004660 |
| collection_id | Molecular function |
| Alternative ID | GO:0018223 |
| Exact synonym | protein-cysteine farnesyltransferase activity |
| Description | Catalysis of the reaction: farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate. |
| Related synonym | FTase activity, farnesyl-diphosphate:protein-cysteine farnesyltransferase activity |
| Comment | The catalyzed reaction transfers a farnesyl group from farnesyl diphosphate to a target protein. There is no relationship between this activity and farnesyltransferase activity, GO:0004311, where the catalyzed reaction forms (free) geranylgeranyl diphosphate. |
