EC | 2.5.1.92 | ||
Accepted name: | (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase | ||
Reaction: | prenyl diphosphate + 2 isopentenyl diphosphate = 2 diphosphate + (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate (1a) prenyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + neryl diphosphate (1b) neryl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate |

Glossary: | prenyl diphosphate = dimethylallyl diphosphate | ||
Other name(s): | cis,cis-farnesyl diphosphate synthase; Z,Z-FPP synthase; zFPS; Z,Z-farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase; dimethylallyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate cistransferase (adding 2 isopentenyl units) | ||
Systematic name: | prenyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate cistransferase (adding 2 isopentenyl units) | ||
Comments: | This enzyme, originally characterized from wild tomato, specifically forms (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate via neryl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate. In wild tomato it is involved in the biosynthesis of several sesquiterpenes. See also EC 2.5.1.68 [(2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase] and EC 2.5.1.10 [(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase]. | ||
