Fdps - farnesyl diphosphate synthase Gene

Also Known as FPS; Ac2-125

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 83791

Summary

Enables geranyltranstransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process; positive regulation of cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development; and positive regulation of Cholesterol biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrial matrix and peroxisome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in porokeratosis. Orthologous to human FDPS (farnesyl diphosphate synthase).
