About FDPS

Cytogenetic location: 1q22 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:155,308,866-155,320,665 (from NCBI)

This gene has 21 transcripts (splice variants), 229 orthologues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in liver (RPKM 72.6), duodenum (RPKM 62.1) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes an Enzyme that catalyzes the production of geranyl pyrophosphate and farnesyl pyrophosphate from isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. The resulting product, farnesyl pyrophosphate, is a key intermediate in Cholesterol and sterol biosynthesis, a substrate for protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation, and a ligand or agonist for certain hormone receptors and growth receptors. Drugs that inhibit this Enzyme prevent the post-translational modifications of small GTPases and have been used to treat diseases related to bone resorption. Multiple pseudogenes have been found on chromosomes 1, 7, 14, 15, 21 and X. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
