[1]	NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE [MRNA]. DOI=10.1016/0378-1119(96)00054-6; PubMed=8682304 [NCBI, ExPASy, EBI, Israel, Japan] Matsushita Y., Kang W., Charlwood B.V.; "Cloning and analysis of a cDNA encoding farnesyl diphosphate synthase from Artemisia annua."; Gene 172:207-209(1996).

Comments

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the sequential condensation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate with the allylic pyrophosphates, dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, and then with the resultant geranylpyrophosphate to the ultimate product farnesyl pyrophosphate.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate.
PATHWAY: Isoprenoid biosynthesis; farnesyl-PP biosynthesis; farnesyl-PP from geranyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1 .
PATHWAY: Isoprenoid biosynthesis; geranyl-PP biosynthesis; geranyl-PP from dimethylallyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1 .
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthetase family.
