General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the trans-addition of the three molecules of IPP onto DMAPP to form geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, an important precursor of carotenoids and geranylated proteins By similarity.
Catalytic activity	Dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate. Geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate. Trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranylgeranyl diphosphate.
Pathway	Isoprenoid biosynthesis; farnesyl-PP biosynthesis; farnesyl-PP from geranyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1. Isoprenoid biosynthesis; geranyl-PP biosynthesis; geranyl-PP from dimethylallyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1. Isoprenoid biosynthesis; geranylgeranyl-PP biosynthesis; geranylgeranyl-PP from farnesyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1.
Subunit structure	Homooctamer By similarity.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm Potential.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthetase family.
