Trans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate synthase ((2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate specific) explained

Trans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate synthase ((2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate specific)
Ec Number:2.5.1.88

is an enzyme with systematic name (adding 9--11 isopentenyl units).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

\rightleftharpoons

n diphosphate + trans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate (n = 9 - 11)

This enzyme has the highest activity with (2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate as allylic substrate.
