In enzymology, a geranyltranstransferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate diphosphate + trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are geranyl diphosphate (a 10 carbon precursor) and isopentenyl diphosphate (a 5 carbon precursor) whereas its two products are diphosphate and trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate (a 15 carbon product). This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. == Nomenclature == The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate geranyltranstransferase. Other names in common use include: * farnesyl-diphosphate synthase * geranyl transferase I * prenyltransferase * farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase * farnesylpyrophosphate synthetase Common abbreviations include: FPS, FDS, FPPS, and FDPS. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geranyltranstransferase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
