physiological function | the enzyme is a key enzyme in the metabolism of virtually all isoprenoids and it interconnects the 5-carbon moiety isoprenoid synthesis with the mid- or long-chained compound synthesis. The synthesis of farnesyl diphosphate and geranylgeranyl diphosphate is required for biosynthesis of ubiquinone, dolichol, carotenoids, menaquinone, tocopherol, and protein prenylation | Plasmodium falciparum |
