EC 2.5.1.88     
Accepted name: trans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate synthase [(2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate specific]
Reaction: (2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + n isopentenyl diphosphate = n diphosphate + trans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate (n = 9–11)

Systematic name: (2Z,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate cistransferase (adding 9–11 isopentenyl units)
Comments: Highest activity with (2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate as allylic substrate. Broad product specificity with the major product being dodecaprenyl diphosphate. Synthesizes even C70 prenyl diphosphate as the maximum chain-length product [1].
