The enzyme first characterised from peppermint and Escherichia coli converts isopentenyl phosphate to isopentenyl pyrophosphate by transferring a phosphate group from the cofactor, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).[2]

This enzyme takes part in a modified mevalonate pathway in Archaea such as Methanocaldococcus jannaschii.[3][4] Its structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography.[5]
