General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the trans-addition of the three molecules of IPP onto DMAPP to form geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate.
Catalytic activity	Dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate. Ref.1 Geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate. Ref.1 Trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranylgeranyl diphosphate. Ref.1
Pathway	Isoprenoid biosynthesis; farnesyl-PP biosynthesis; farnesyl-PP from geranyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1. Ref.1 Isoprenoid biosynthesis; geranyl-PP biosynthesis; geranyl-PP from dimethylallyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1. Ref.1 Isoprenoid biosynthesis; geranylgeranyl-PP biosynthesis; geranylgeranyl-PP from farnesyl-PP and isopentenyl-PP: step 1/1. Ref.1
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm.
Induction	By blue light. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthetase family.
