Trans,polycis-decaprenyl diphosphate synthase

Class of enzymes

Trans,polycis-decaprenyl diphosphate synthase (EC 2.5.1.86, Rv2361c, (2Z,6Z,10Z,14Z,18Z,22Z,26Z,30Z,34E)-decaprenyl diphosphate synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name (2Z,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate farnesylcistransferase (adding 7 isopentenyl units) .[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + 7 isopentenyl diphosphate 7 diphosphate + trans,octacis-decaprenyl diphosphate
Quick Facts Identifiers, EC no. ...

The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of decaprenyl phosphate.
