Cholesterol Biosynthesis (Mevalonate Pathway) Lipid Metabolism · Cytosol + ER

step 10 Irreversible/directional

GPP + IPP → farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) + PPi

Converts Geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) Isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) into Farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) PPi

› Notes

Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase performs the next head-to-tail condensation, forming C15 FPP. FPP is also a branch-point precursor for ubiquinone, dolichol, and protein prenylation.
