In enzymology, a geranylgeranylglycerol-phosphate geranylgeranyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are geranylgeranyl diphosphate and sn-3-O-glycerol 1-phosphate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and 2,3-bis-O-glycerol 1-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl groups or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranylgeranyl diphosphate:sn-3-O-glycerol 1-phosphate geranylgeranyltransferase. Other names in common use include geranylgeranyloxyglycerol phosphate geranylgeranyltransferase, and geranylgeranyltransferase II.
