Recombinant human GGPS1 protein
Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase isoform A, also known as GGPS1, is a member of the prenyltransferase family. Predominantly expressed in testis, heart and skeletal muscle, GGPS1 localizes to the cytoplasm and catalyzes the formation of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, a precursor of geranylgeranylated proteins and carotenoids. GGPS1 is an important molecule responsible for the C20-prenylation of proteins and for the regulation of a nuclear hormone receptor. Recombinant human GGPS1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
