Protein farnesyltransferase subunit beta
Function
Essential subunit of the farnesyltransferase complex. Catalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl moiety from farnesyl diphosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the protein prenyltransferase subunit beta family.
