Official Full Name: geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase 1<br />Also known as: GGPPS; MDHLO; GGPPS1; MUDHLOV<br />This gene is a member of the pentenyltransferase family and encodes a protein with geranyl diphosphate synthase activity. This enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of GGPP from farnesyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate. GGPP is an important molecule responsible for the C20-enoylation of proteins and the regulation of nuclear hormone receptors. Protein-coding and non-protein-coding transcriptional splice variants have been found for this gene.
