Fumigaclavine A dimethylallyltransferase explained

Fumigaclavine A dimethylallyltransferase
Ec Number:2.5.1.100

Fumigaclavine A dimethylallyltransferase (FgaPT1) is an enzyme with systematic name dimethylallyl-diphosphate:fumigaclavine A dimethylallyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

fumigaclavine A + dimethylallyl diphosphate

\rightleftharpoons

fumigaclavine C + diphosphate

Fumigaclavine C is an ergot alkaloid produced by some fungi of the Trichocomaceae family.
