2.7.4.32 |
| Accepted name: |
farnesyl phosphate kinase |
| Reaction: |
CTP + (2E,6E)-farnesyl phosphate = CDP + (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate |
|

| Systematic name: |
CTP:(2E,6E)-farnesyl-phosphate phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, found in plants and animals, is specific for CTP as phosphate donor. It does not use farnesol as substrate (cf. EC 2.7.1.216, farnesol kinase). |
