Description
This infographic aims to describe and characterize the function of heptaprenyl diphosphate synthase in the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway. This enzyme converts (2E, 6E)-farnesyl diphosphate into all-trans-heptaprenyl diphosphate, which is used in the side chain synthesis for menaquinone-7 and ubiquinone-7.
