Function
FNTA_RAT Catalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl moiety from farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X. The alpha subunit is thought to participate in a stable complex with the substrate. The beta subunit binds the peptide substrate. Through RAC1 prenylation and activation may positively regulate neuromuscular junction development downstream of MUSK (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed
A series of benzofuran-based farnesyltransferase inhibitors have been designed and synthesized as antitumor agents. Among them, 11f showed the most potent enzyme inhibitory activity (IC(50)=1.1nM) and antitumor activity in human cancer xenografts in mice.
