IUBMB Comments

Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase catalyses the consecutive condensation reactions of a farnesyl diphosphate with eight isopentenyl diphosphates, in which new cis-double bonds are formed, to generate undecaprenyl diphosphate that serves as a lipid carrier for peptidoglycan synthesis of bacterial cell wall .

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryota

Synonyms
undecaprenyl diphosphate synthase, undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase, dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase, upp synthase, ddpps, undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthetase, upp synthetase, z-prenyl diphosphate synthase, isosesquilavandulyl diphosphate synthase, undecaprenyl-diphosphate synthase, more
