Dolichol
Dolichol Monophosphate Mannose
A lipophilic glycosyl carrier of the monosaccharide mannose in the biosynthesis of oligosaccharide phospholipids and glycoproteins.
Polyisoprenyl Phosphate Sugars
Diterpenes
Twenty-carbon compounds derived from MEVALONIC ACID or deoxyxylulose phosphate.
Polyisoprenyl Phosphate Monosaccharides
Mannosyltransferases
Polyisoprenyl Phosphate Oligosaccharides
Mevalonic Acid
Guanosine Diphosphate Mannose
A nucleoside diphosphate sugar which can be converted to the deoxy sugar GDPfucose, which provides fucose for lipopolysaccharides of bacterial cell walls. Also acts as mannose donor for glycolipid synthesis.
Terpenes
A class of compounds composed of repeating 5-carbon units of HEMITERPENES.
Transferases (Other Substituted Phosphate Groups)
Pentanes
Fatty Alcohols
Usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols, but can also range from as few as 4 carbons, derived from natural fats and oils, including lauryl, stearyl, oleyl, and linoleyl alcohols. They are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, plastics, and lube oils and in textile manufacture. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed)
Hemiterpenes
The five-carbon building blocks of TERPENES that derive from MEVALONIC ACID or deoxyxylulose phosphate.
Mannose
Uridine Diphosphate N-Acetylglucosamine
Glycosylation
Microsomes, Liver
Phosphotransferases (Alcohol Group Acceptor)
Phosphotransferases
Dimethylallyltranstransferase
An enzyme that, in the pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis, catalyzes the condensation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallylpyrophosphate to yield pyrophosphate and geranylpyrophosphate. The enzyme then catalyzes the condensation of the latter compound with another molecule of isopentenyl pyrophosphate to yield pyrophosphate and farnesylpyrophosphate. EC 2.5.1.1.
