In enzymology a tRNA isopentenyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionisopentenyl diphosphate + tRNA diphosphate + tRNA containing 6-isopentenyladenosineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are isopentenyl diphosphate and tRNA whereas its two products are diphosphate and tRNA containing 6-isopentenyladenosine.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups.
