    Product 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.1,2 Farnesylation is essential for the function of a number of proteins involved in signal transduction.3,4
