(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase activity

ID: GO_0004337

Class

Catalysis of the reaction: (2E)-geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + diphosphate.

Note that this is the second step in the formation of farnesyl diphosphate. The first step is 'dimethylallyltransferase activity ; GO:0004161'. Consider also annotating to the biological process term 'farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process ; GO:0045337'.
