DescriptionGeranylgeranyl-PP, also known as GGDP or GGPP diphosphate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic diterpenoids. These are diterpenoids (compounds made of four consecutive isoprene units) that do not contain a cycle. Thus, geranylgeranyl-PP is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Geranylgeranyl-PP is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in isoprenoid biosynthetic process
Specific function:
Catalyzes the trans-addition of the 3 molecules of IPP onto DMAPP to form geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate. Required for the membrane attachment of YPT1 and SEC4. May be involved in vesicle trafficking and protein sorting
Gene Name:

Uniprot ID:
Q12051
Molecular weight:
38651.0
Reactions
Dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate → diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate.
Geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate → diphosphate + (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate.
Trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate → diphosphate + geranylgeranyl diphosphate.
General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring alkyl or aryl (other than methyl) groups
Specific function:
Could be a cis-prenyl transferase that adds multiple copies of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (ipp) to farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) to produce dehydrodolichyl diphosphate (DeDol- PP)
