Metabolite Identification
Common NameGeranyl-PP
DescriptionGeranyl-PP, also known as neryl diphosphate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as isoprenoid phosphates. These are prenol lipids containing a phosphate group linked to an isoprene (2-methylbuta-1,3-diene) unit. Thus, geranyl-PP is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Geranyl-PP is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.

Enzymes

General function:
Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Key enzyme in isoprenoid biosynthesis which catalyzes the formation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), a precursor for several classes of essential metabolites including sterols, dolichols, carotenoids, and ubiquinones. FPP also serves as substrate for protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation. Catalyzes the sequential condensation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate with the allylic pyrophosphates, dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, and then with the resultant geranylpyrophosphate to the ultimate product farnesyl pyrophosphate (By similarity).
