Ett enzym som under kolesterolbiosyntesen katalyserar kondenseringen av isopentenylpyrofosfat och dimetylallylpyrofosfat till pyrofosfat och geranylpyrofosfat. Därefter katalyserar enzymet kondenseringen av sistnämnda förening med ytterligare isopentenylpyrofosfat till pyrofosfat och farnesylpyrofosfat. EC 2.5.1.1.
An enzyme that, in the pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis, catalyzes the condensation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallylpyrophosphate to yield pyrophosphate and geranylpyrophosphate. The enzyme then catalyzes the condensation of the latter compound with another molecule of isopentenyl pyrophosphate to yield pyrophosphate and farnesylpyrophosphate. EC 2.5.1.1.
