Light Yellow Oil | [Uses]
A intermediate in the lipidation of proteins, which plays a great importance for a variety of biological processes such as cell signalling | [Uses]
Geranylgeraniol, a precursor to Geranylgeranylpyrophosphate (G367600), is an intermediate in the mevalonate pathway. Geranylgeraniol has been shown to prevent bone re-adsorption, inhibition of osteocl
ast formation, and kinase activation in vitro. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Geranylgeraniol is a diterpenoid that is hexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraene substituted by methyl groups at positions 3, 7, 11 and 15 and a hydroxy group at position 1. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a volatile oil component and an antileishmanial agent. It is a diterpenoid and a polyprenol. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
As the pyrophosphate, the metabolic precursor of all diterpenes. Screening in vitro shows this to be a potent and selective agent against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. |
