Fnta - farnesyltransferase, CAAX box, alpha

Contributes to several functions, including peptide binding activity; protein prenyltransferase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of nitric-oxide synthase biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm. Part of CAAX-protein geranylgeranyltransferase complex. Orthologous to human FNTA (farnesyltransferase, CAAX box, alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
