2.5.1.29Gene ontology ID
GO:0004311
Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: 2-trans,6-trans-farnesyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranylgeranyl diphosphate
Comment
The catalyzed reaction forms (free) geranylgeranyl diphosphate. There is no relationship between this activity and protein farnesyltransferase activity, GO:0004660, where the catalyzed reaction transfers a farnesyl group from farnesyl diphosphate to a target protein.
Synonyms
1. farnesyltransferase activity
2. geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase activity
3. geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthetase activity
4. geranylgeranyl-diphosphate synthase activity
5. geranylgeranyl-PP synthetase activity
6. trans,trans-farnesyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate farnesyltranstransferase activity
