'''Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase''' or '''isoprenyl transferase''' or '''poly-cis-prenyltransferase''' or '''ditrans,polycis-undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase ((2E,6E) farnesyl diphosphate specific)''' (UPPS) catalyzes the consecutive condensation of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) with 8 molecules of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) to produce undecaprenyl pyrophosphate. Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate serves as a lipid carrier for peptidoglycan synthesis of bacterial cell wall<ref>PMID:15788389</ref>. UPPS or '''NUS1''' is a subunit of ''cis''-prenyltransferase<ref>PMID:27402831</ref>. Bisphosphonate drugs are UPP inhibitors.
