General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase catalyzes the sequential condensation of isopentenyl diphosphate with farnesyl diphosphate to synthesize dehydrodolichyl diphosphate, a biosynthetic precursor for dolichol which plays an important role as a sugar-carrier lipid in the biosynthesis of glycoprotein in eukaryotic cells. Identification of a specific interaction of human dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase with the Niemann–Pick Type C2 protein (NPC2/HE1), whose defects cause Niemann–Pick type C2 disease Homo sapiens
