Parent Class:

EC-Numbers → 2 -- Transferases → 2.5 -- Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups → 2.5.1 -- Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups

Synonyms: neryl-diphosphate synthase

Systematic Name: prenyl-diphosphate:3-methyl-but-3-en-1-yl-diphosphate prenylcistransferase

Unification Links: BRENDA:2.5.1.28, ENZYME:2.5.1.28, IUBMB-ExplorEnz:2.5.1.28

Reaction:
prenyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate → neryl diphosphate + diphosphate
