MA1492 is a distinct type of archaeal geranylgeranyl reductase that is not homologous to known geranylgeranyl reductases, but is homologous to phytoene desaturase CrtI, which is the carotenogenic enzyme that catalyzes oxidation/isomerization of phytoene to lycopene, CrtI, EC 1.3.5.6 |

| 1.3.7.11 | physiological function |
the enzyme is essential in phospholipid biosynthesis. Reduction of the isoprenoid chains occurs only when archaeal ferredoxin is expressed with geranylgeranyl reductase, suggesting the role of ferredoxin as a specific electron donor for the reductase |
