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.
