Application

Farnesyl diphosphate ammonium salt may be used to study the posttranslational process known as farnesylation that is used to modify important proteins such as the Ras oncogene.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Farnesyl pyrophosphate is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of more complex sesquiterpenoids, higher terpenoids, and steroids and different biological functions have been discovered for FPP and the corresponding alcohol farnesol. FPP plays an important role in the posttranslational processing of Ras proteins. Mutated forms of Ras are associated with human cancer and are therefore investigated in cancer research.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

In 1990, more than 10 years after the discovery that the low molecular weight GTPase Ras is a major contributor to human cancer, farnesylation, a lipid posttranslational modification required for the cancer-causing activity of Ras, emerged as a major target

In this review, we summarize recent progress in studying three main classes of prenyltransferases: (a) isoprenyl pyrophosphate synthases (IPPSs), which catalyze chain elongation of allylic pyrophosphate substrates via consecutive condensation reactions with isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) to generate linear polymers with

The a-factor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a dodecapeptide pheromone (YIIKGVFWDPAC(Farnesyl)-OCH(3), 1), in which post-translational modification with a farnesyl isoprenoid and carboxymethyl group is required for full biological activity. This peptide has been used as a model system to explore the

This investigation compares the effects of three farnesyl pyrophosphate analogs on selected aspects of isoprenoid metabolism. E,E-alpha-Hydroxyfarnesylphosphonate was prepared by an improved variation on a literature synthesis, which also gave access to the new Z,E-alpha-hydroxyfarnesyl- and alpha-hydroxygeranylphosphonates.
