Gene NameBTS1
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in isoprenoid biosynthetic process
Specific FunctionCatalyzes the trans-addition of the 3 molecules of IPP onto DMAPP to form geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate. Required for the membrane attachment of YPT1 and SEC4. May be involved in vesicle trafficking and protein sorting
