Hexaprenyl diphosphate synthase (geranylgeranyl-diphosphate specific) (EC 2.5.1.82, HexPS, (all-E) hexaprenyl diphosphate synthase, (all-trans) hexaprenyl diphosphate synthase, hexaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase, HexPPs, hexaprenyl diphosphate synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name geranylgeranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate transferase (adding 2 isopentenyl units). [1] [2] [3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- geranylgeranyl diphosphate + 2 isopentenyl diphosphate 2 diphosphate + all-trans-hexaprenyl diphosphate
The enzyme prefers geranylgeranyl diphosphate to farnesyl diphosphate as an allylic substrate.
