Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate

Description:
Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of terpenes and terpenoids, playing a crucial role in various biological processes. It is a polyisoprenoid compound, specifically a C20 isoprenoid, characterized by its structure, which includes a long hydrophobic tail and two phosphate groups. GGPP is involved in the post-translational modification of proteins through a process known as prenylation, which is essential for the proper localization and function of many signaling proteins, including small GTPases. This compound is also a precursor for the synthesis of other important biomolecules, such as carotenoids and certain hormones. In terms of solubility, GGPP is generally soluble in organic solvents but less so in water, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. Its biological significance extends to various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, making it a subject of interest in research related to cancer and other diseases. Overall, GGPP is a vital molecule in cellular metabolism and signaling pathways.
