Z-farnesyl diphosphate synthase
In enzymology, a Z-farnesyl diphosphate synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are geranyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and -farnesyl diphosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate geranylcistransferase. This enzyme is also called -farnesyl diphosphate synthase.
