✦ Synopsis
Farnesyltransferase catalyzes the posttranslational modification of numerous proteins involved in intracellular signal transduction by transferring the farnesyl residue of farnesyl pyrophosphate to the thiol of a cysteine side chain of the protein substrate. The cysteine residue belongs to a characteristic carboxy-terminal consensus sequence, the so-called
