MeSH Heading: Geranylgeranyl-Diphosphate Geranylgeranyltransferase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.913.225.443
Unique ID: D051232
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D051232
Scope Note: An enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of two molecules of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to give prephytoene diphosphate. The prephytoene diphosphate molecule is a precursor for CAROTENOIDS and other tetraterpenes.
Entry Term(s): Geranylgeranyl Pyrophosphate Synthase; Geranylgeranyl-Pyrophosphate Synthase; Phytoene Synthetase; Prephytoene-Diphosphate Synthase
Previous Indexing: Alkyl and Aryl Transferases (1991-2005)
