Pars_1793

Gene
Pars_1793
Protein
Geranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate synthase
Organism
Pyrobaculum arsenaticum (strain DSM 13514 / JCM 11321)
Length
239 amino acids
Function
Prenyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of the geranylgeranyl moiety of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) to the C3 hydroxyl of sn-glycerol-1-phosphate (G1P). This reaction is the first ether-bond-formation step in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids.
Similarity
Belongs to the GGGP/HepGP synthase family. Group II subfamily.
Mass
