Enables

This protein enables 8 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
protein farnesyltransferase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate. [EC:2.5.1.58, PMID:8621375]
protein geranylgeranyltransferase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the covalent addition of a geranylgeranyl (20-carbon isoprenoid) group via thioether linkages to a cysteine residue at or near the C terminus of a protein. [PMID:8621375]
Rab geranylgeranyltransferase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: 2 geranylgeranyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = 2 S-geranylgeranyl-protein + 2 diphosphate. This reaction is the formation of two thioether linkages between the C-1 atom of the geranylgeranyl groups and two cysteine residues within the terminal sequence motifs XXCC, XCXC or CCXX. Known substrates include Ras-related GTPases of a single family and the Rab family. [EC:2.5.1.60, GOC:mah, PMID:8621375]
