FNTA Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Catalog #: MBS646741

Prenyltransferases can attach either a farnesyl group or a geranylgeranyl group in thioether linkage to the cysteine residue of proteins with a C-terminal CAAX box. CAAX geranylgeranyltransferase and CAAX farnesyltransferase are heterodimers that share the… More details

UniProt Comments for FNTA

Function: Catalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl moiety from farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X. The alpha subunit is thought to participate in a stable complex with the substrate. The beta subunit binds the peptide substrate. Through RAC1 prenylation and activation may positively regulate neuromuscular junction development downstream of MUSK

By similarity.

Catalytic activity: Farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate.Geranylgeranyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-geranylgeranyl-protein + diphosphate.

Enzyme regulation: Activated by the AGRIN-induced phosphorylation which is mediated by MUSK

By similarity.

Subunit structure: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Interacts with MUSK; the interaction is direct and mediates AGRIN-induced phosphorylation of FNTA

By similarity. Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.17

Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is mediated by MUSK upon AGRIN stimulation and results in the activation of FNTA

By similarity.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the protein prenyltransferase subunit alpha family.Contains 5 PFTA repeats.
