Fdft1 - farnesyl diphosphate farnesyl transferase 1 Gene

Predicted to enable farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase activity and squalene synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in Cholesterol biosynthetic process and farnesyl diphosphate metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within Cholesterol metabolic process; isoprenoid biosynthetic process; and sterol biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FDFT1 (farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
