NCIt synonyms : GGTI; BGGI; GGTase-I-Beta; Geranylgeranyl Transferase Type I Beta Subunit; PGGT1B; Type I Protein Geranyl-Geranyltransferase Beta Subunit; Protein Geranylgeranyltransferase Type-I Beta Subunit; Geranylgeranyl Transferase Type I Subunit Beta; Protein Geranylgeranyltransferase Type I Beta Subunit; EC 2.5.1.59;
NCIt definition : Geranylgeranyl transferase type-1 subunit beta (377 aa, 42 kDa) is encoded by the
human PGGT1B gene. This protein plays a role in protein geranylgeranylation.;
NCIt note : Geranylgeranyl transferase activity is dependent on formation of a complex of geranylgeranyl
transferase type-1 subunit beta with protein farnesyltransferase/geranylgeranyltransferase
type-1 subunit alpha. Geranylgeranyl transferase type-1 subunit beta is responsible
for substrate recognition. (UniProt);
