Recombinant Human Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FDPS)
Description
Purity > 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. MW: 64.3kDa. Full Length: 1-419aa. N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO-tagged. Homo sapiens (Human). 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.
