The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of dolichol (a long-chain polyprenol) with a saturated alpha-isoprene unit, which serves as a glycosyl carrier in protein glycosylation . The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has two different enzymes that catalyse this reaction. Rer2p synthesizes a well-defined family of polyprenols of 13--18 isoprene residues with dominating C(80) (16 isoprene residues) extending to C(120), while Srt1p synthesizes mainly polyprenol with 22 isoprene subunits. Largest Srt1p products reach C(290) . The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana catalyses the formation of polyprenyl diphosphates with predominant carbon number C(120) .

the enzyme synthesizes polyisoprenes with carbon number higher than 90. The peak activity is observed at the point that corresponds to the polyisoprene with carbon number C120
trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate is a better substrate than geranylgeranyl diphosphate. The enzyme catalyzes the formation of polyprenyl diphosphates with predominant carbon number C120. In vitro rubber biosynthesis analysis indicates that the Arabidopsis cis-prenyltransferase itself could not catalyze the formation of high molecular weight polyprenyl diphosphate such as natural rubber
