dimethylallyltranstransferase activity [GO_0004161]
Catalysis of the reaction: dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = (2E)-geranyl diphosphate + diphosphate.
dimethylallyltranstransferase activity
ID: GO_0004161
Class
Catalysis of the reaction: dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = (2E)-geranyl diphosphate + diphosphate.
Note that this is the first step in the formation of farnesyl diphosphate. The second step is 'geranyltranstransferase activity ; GO:0004337'. Consider also annotating to the biological process term 'farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process ; GO:0045337'.
