|---|---|---|
| evolution | MA1492 is a distinct type of archaeal geranylgeranyl reductase that is not homologous to known geranylgeranyl reductases, but is homologous to phytoene desaturase CrtI, which is the carotenogenic enzyme that catalyzes oxidation/isomerization of phytoene to lycopene, CrtI, EC 1.3.5.6 | Methanosarcina acetivorans |
| physiological function | MA1492 might play a physiological role in the membrane lipid biosynthesis | Methanosarcina acetivorans |
