NCIt definition : Protein farnesyltransferase/geranylgeranyltransferase type-1 subunit alpha (379 aa, 44 kDa) is encoded by the human FNTA gene. This protein is involved in protein prenylation.;

NCIt note : Protein farnesyltransferase/geranylgeranyltransferase type-1 subunit alpha forms a complex with either protein farnesyltransferase subunit beta or geranylgeranyl transferase type-1 subunit beta. The beta subunit confers the substrate specificity for the enzyme complex activity.;
