| Application: | Farnesyl pyrophosphate ammonium salt has been used: • as a prenylation agonist in human osteogenic sarcoma cells in collagen-based cell invasion assays • in the prenylation of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) • as a substrate in prenyltransferases assay in diatom Haslea ostrearia |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) is the precursor for the biosynthesis of cholesterol, ubiquinone and dolicol. It is part of the intracellular mevalonate pathway. FPP is essential for cell survival and is used for prenylation of several low molecular mass G proteins, including Ras. Inhibition of prenylation results in loss of oncogenic potential of Ras proteins. Inhibition of prenylation may serve as therapeutic potential for management of synaptic plasticity and Alzheimer′s disease. |
| General description: | Farnesyl pyrophosphate is a 15-carbon isoprenoid synthesized from geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) by the action of enzyme farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS). |
