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).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
