Description

Geranylgeranyl Pyrophosphate Triammonium Salt is a high-purity, water-soluble ammonium salt of the essential isoprenoid intermediate geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP). This compound serves as a critical biochemical substrate for protein prenylation and the biosynthesis of carotenoids, chlorophylls, tocopherols, and other vital terpenoids. It is indispensable for researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, plant biology, and nutraceutical production, where precise enzymatic activity and metabolic pathway studies are required.

Application

• Enzymatic Research Substrate: Essential for in vitro studies of protein geranylgeranyltransferases (GGTases) involved in cancer and cardiovascular disease research.
• Plant Biochemistry & Agriculture: Used to study and manipulate biosynthetic pathways for carotenoids, gibberellins, and chlorophyll in crops.
• Pharmaceutical Development: A key reagent in screening and developing inhibitors for prenylation-dependent diseases, including certain cancers and parasitic infections.
• Nutraceutical Synthesis: Acts as a precursor in the enzymatic synthesis of high-value compounds like coenzyme Q10 and vitamin K2.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Utilized in tracer studies and metabolic flux analysis to understand isoprenoid biosynthesis.
• Biocatalyst & Enzyme Characterization: Serves as a standard substrate for characterizing the activity and kinetics of terpene synthases and prenyltransferases.
