Description
Dimethylallyl pyrophosphate and isopentyl pyrophosphate undergo condensation to yield geranyl pyrophosphate, which undergoes condensation with a second molecule of isopentyl pyrophosphate to yield farnesyl pyrophosphate.{6606,6607} Farnesylation is essential for the function of a number of proteins involved in signal transduction.{5456,2640}
