Geranylgeranyl Pyrophosphate (ammonium salt)

Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate is an intermediate in the HMG-CoA reductase pathway derived directly from farnesyl pyrophosphate and used in the biosynthesis of terpenes and terpenoids. It is also serves as a substrate in the prenylation of a variety of critical intracellular proteins including small GTPases. This post-translational modification is necessary for correct localization of proteins to intracellular membranes for proper functionality and has become a focus of anticancer drug discovery.Formal Name: P-[(2E,6E,10E)-3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-2,6,10,14-hexadecatetraen-1-yl] ester-diphosphoric acid, triammonium salt.
