Identification
NameProtein farnesyltransferase/geranylgeranyltransferase type-1 subunit alpha
Synonyms
  • CAAX farnesyltransferase subunit alpha
  • FTase-alpha
  • Ras proteins prenyltransferase subunit alpha
  • Type I protein geranyl-geranyltransferase subunit alpha
  • GGTase-I-alpha
Gene NameRAM2
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in protein prenyltransferase activity
Specific FunctionCatalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl moiety from farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X. The alpha subunit is thought to participate in a stable complex with the substrate. The beta subunit binds the peptide substrate
