Description
Catalyzes the formation of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), the building block of all isoprenoids. Has lower activity with dimethylallyl phosphate (DMAP) and isopentenyl thiolophosphate (ISP). Has low activity with 1-butyl phosphate (BP) and 3-buten-1-yl phosphate (BEP). Has no significant activity with geranyl phosphate (in vitro).
Family
Belongs to the isopentenyl phosphate kinase family.
