Geranylgeranylation
text:
Geranylgeranylation is a form of prenylation, which is a post-translational modification of proteins that involves the attachment of one or two 20-carbon lipophilic geranylgeranyl isoprene units from geranylgeranyl diphosphate to one or two cysteine residue(s) at the C-terminus of specific proteins. Prenylation is thought to function, at least in part, as a membrane anchor for proteins. The process of geranylgeranylation can be catalyzed by either geranylgeranyl transferase I or Rab GGTase. GGTa
