Geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP), also known as geranyl diphosphate (GDP), is the pyrophosphate ester of the terpenoid geraniol. Its salts are colorless. It is a precursor to many thousands of natural products.[1]
Occurrence
[edit | edit source]GPP is an intermediate in the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway that produces longer prenyl chains such as farnesyl pyrophosphate and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate as well as many terpenes.[2] It can be prepared in the laboratory from geraniol.[3]
Microbial toxicity
[edit | edit source]Intracellularly produced GPP has been shown to be toxic to the bacteria E. coli at moderate doses.[4]
