Protein
All-trans-nonaprenyl-diphosphate synthase (geranyl-diphosphate specific)
Organism
Rhodobacter capsulatus
Function
catalyzes the sequential condensation of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) with the allylic substrate to give solanesyl diphosphate. Could be important to determine the side chain length of ubiquinone.
Similarity
Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family.
