    Summary
    Enables CAAX-protein geranylgeranyltransferase activity and protein farnesyltransferase activity. Involved in peptide pheromone maturation; protein farnesylation; and protein geranylgeranylation. Part of CAAX-protein geranylgeranyltransferase complex and protein farnesyltransferase complex. Orthologous to human FNTA (farnesyltransferase, CAAX box, subunit alpha).
