Ggps1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in isoprenoid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Z disc; nucleoplasm; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in aorta; brain; heart; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human GGPS1 (geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ggps1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
