Identification
BMDB Protein ID BMDBP00864
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • BMDBP03106
Name Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name FDPS
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific Function Key enzyme in isoprenoid biosynthesis which catalyzes the formation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), a precursor for several classes of essential metabolites including sterols, dolichols, carotenoids, and ubiquinones. FPP also serves as substrate for protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation. Catalyzes the sequential condensation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate with the allylic pyrophosphates, dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, and then with the resultant geranylpyrophosphate to the ultimate product farnesyl pyrophosphate (By similarity).
Pathways
  • Farnesyl diphosphate biosynthesis
  • Farnesyl diphosphate from geranyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate: step 1/1.
  • Geranyl diphosphate biosynthesis
  • Geranyl diphosphate from dimethylallyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate: step 1/1
  • Isoprenoid biosynthesis
