Tritrans,polycis-undecaprenyl-diphosphate synthase (geranylgeranyl-diphosphate specific)

Field	Value
Name	Tritrans,polycis-undecaprenyl-diphosphate synthase (geranylgeranyl-diphosphate specific)
EC_number	2.5.1.89

**** () is an enzyme with systematic name * (adding 7 isopentenyl units)*. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: geranylgeranyl diphosphate + 7 isopentenyl diphosphate \rightleftharpoons 7 diphosphate + tritrans,heptacis-undecaprenyl diphosphate

This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosyl carrier lipid in some archaebacteria.
