Activity: 1 pmol of FTase will transfer 1 pmol of farnesyl to H-Ras in 15 min at 37°C.
Description:
FTase catalyzes the transfer of the farnesyl group from farnesyl diphosphate to proteins containing a C-terminal CaaX motif, where 'C' is a conserved cysteine that is the site of farnesyl modification, 'a' is usually an aliphatic amino acid, and 'X' is methionine, serine, glutamine, or alanine.
