A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of GGPS1 antibody, Alternative Names: GGPS1 control peptide, GGPS1 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-GGPS1 Blocking Peptide, Geranylgeranyl Diphosphate Synthase 1 Blocking Peptide, GGPPS Blocking Peptide, GGPPS1 Blocking Peptide, GGPS1, GGPS-1, GGPS 1, GGPS-1 Blocking Peptide, GGPS 1 Blocking Peptide
GGPS1 is a member of the prenyltransferase family and has geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) synthase activity. The enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of GGPP from farnesyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate. GGPP is an important molecule responsible for the C20-prenylation of proteins and for the regulation of a nuclear hormone receptor. The protein is an important precursor of carotenoids and geranylated proteins. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
