Gene information for GGPS1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9453
Official gene symbolGGPS1
Full namegeranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase 1
Aliases,GGPPS,GGPPS1,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the prenyltransferase family and encodes a protein with 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. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, both protein-coding and non-protein-coding, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
