| Accepted name: |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase |
| Reaction: |
geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate |

| Other name(s): |
farnesyl-diphosphate synthase; geranyl transferase I; prenyltransferase; farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase; farnesylpyrophosphate synthetase; geranyltranstransferase |
| Systematic name: |
geranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate geranyltranstransferase |
| Comments: |
Some forms of this enzyme will also use dimethylallyl diphosphate as a substrate. The enzyme will not accept larger prenyl diphosphates as efficient donors. |
