Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Farnesylation, Protein
  • Geranylgeranylation, Protein
  • Polyisoprenylation, Protein
  • Protein Farnesylation
  • Protein Geranylgeranylation
  • Protein Isoprenylation
  • Protein Polyisoprenylation

Scope note

  • A post-translational modification of proteins by the attachment of an isoprenoid to the C-terminal cysteine residue. The isoprenoids used, farnesyl diphosphate or geranylgeranyl diphosphate, are derived from the same biochemical pathway that produces cholesterol.
