Sysname |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate farnesyltranstransferase (adding 4 isopentenyl units)
|
Reaction(IUBMB) |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + 4 isopentenyl diphosphate = 4 diphosphate + all-trans-heptaprenyl diphosphate [RN: R09247]
|
Reaction(KEGG) |
|
Substrate |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD: C00448];
isopentenyl diphosphate [CPD: C00129]
|
Product |
diphosphate [CPD: C00013];
all-trans-heptaprenyl diphosphate [CPD: C04216]
|
Comment |
This enzyme catalyses the condensation reactions resulting in the formation of all-trans-heptaprenyl diphosphate, the isoprenoid side chain of ubiquinone-7 and menaquinone-7. The enzyme adds four isopentenyl diphosphate molecules sequentially to farnesyl diphosphate with trans stereochemistry.
