• Source: Geranylfarnesyl diphosphate synthase

Geranylfarnesyl diphosphate synthase (EC 2.5.1.81, FGPP synthase, (all-E) geranylfarnesyl diphosphate synthase, GFPS, Fgs) is an enzyme with systematic name geranylgeranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate transtransferase (adding 1 isopentenyl unit). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geranylgeranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate



⇌


{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }

(2E,6E,10E,14E)-geranylfarnesyl diphosphate + diphosphate
The enzyme from Methanosarcina mazei is involved in biosynthesis of the polyprenyl side-chain of methanophenazine.
