Function | Catalyzes the trans-addition of the three molecules of IPP onto DMAPP to form geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, an important precursor of carotenoids and geranylated proteins. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. |
Tissue Specificity | Abundantly expressed in testis. Found in other tissues to a lower extent. |
Top Pathways | Terpenoid backbone biosynthesis |
