Preferred Label : dimethylallyltranstransferase;
MeSH definition : An enzyme that, in the pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis, catalyzes the condensation
of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallylpyrophosphate to yield pyrophosphate
and geranylpyrophosphate. The enzyme then catalyzes the condensation of the latter
compound with another molecule of isopentenyl pyrophosphate to yield pyrophosphate
and farnesylpyrophosphate. EC 2.5.1.1.;
