3ipi | pdb_00003ipi

Function

[Q8PYS1_METMA] Involved in biosynthesis of the polyprenyl side-chain of methanophenazine, an electron carrier utilized for methanogenesis. Catalyzes the condensation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate with the allylic pyrophosphates to yield geranylfarnesyl diphosphate (GFPP). It prefers geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) and farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) as allylic substrate.
