Rabbit Anti-GGPS1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene is a member of the prenyltransferase family and encodes a protein with geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) synthase activity. The enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of GGPP from farnesyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate. GGPP is an important molecule responsible for the C20-prenylation of proteins and for the regulation of a nuclear hormone receptor. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, both protein-coding and non-protein-coding, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010].
Function:
Catalyzes the trans-addition of the three molecules of IPP onto DMAPP to form geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, an important precursor of carotenoids and geranylated proteins.
Subunit:
Homohexamer; trimer of homodimers
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm.
Similarity:
Abundantly expressed in testis. Found in other tissues to a lower extent.
Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family.
