What it does, reaction by reaction
1 reactions
Cholesterol Biosynthesis (Mevalonate Pathway) Lipid Metabolism · Cytosol + ER
step 9
Irreversible/directional
DMAPP + IPP → geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) + PPi
Converts Dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) Isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) into Geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) PPi
› Notes
Geranyl pyrophosphate synthase carries out a head-to-tail prenyl transfer to form the C10 isoprenoid. Pyrophosphate release helps drive the reaction.
