| Gene Type | protein-coding |
| Description | protein farnesyltransferase/geranylgeranyltransferase type I alpha subunit |
| Other Description | protein prenyltransferase alpha subunit |
| Swissprots | Q54RT9 |
| Accessions | EAL65970 XM_634170 XP_639262 |
| Function | Catalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl moiety from farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl diphosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X. The alpha subunit is thought to participate in a stable complex with the substrate. The beta subunit binds the peptide substrate (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
