Target: | GGPS1 is a member of the prenyltransferase family and has 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. The protein is an important precursor of carotenoids and geranylated proteins. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.This gene is a member of the prenyltransferase family and encodes a protein with geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) synthase activity.
