CAS 1186-30-7: DMAPP
Description:DMAPP, or dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids, which are vital compounds in various biological processes. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is soluble in organic solvents but less soluble in water. DMAPP is characterized by its pyrophosphate group, which makes it a high-energy compound, facilitating its role in the transfer of isoprenoid units during metabolic pathways. The substance is involved in the mevalonate pathway and the methylerythritol phosphate pathway, both of which are crucial for the synthesis of terpenes and sterols. DMAPP can undergo various chemical reactions, including condensation and rearrangement, contributing to the formation of larger isoprenoid structures. Due to its biological significance, DMAPP is of interest in fields such as biochemistry, pharmacology, and synthetic biology. However, handling DMAPP requires caution, as it can be reactive and may pose health risks if not managed properly.
