Disease relevance of FDPS

  • Antibodies to chicken FPS cross-react with both guayule isoforms expressed in E. coli and recognize a low abundance M(r) 39,000 protein in rubber particles purified from guayule stembark [1].
 

High impact information on FDPS

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of FDPS

  • Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase (EC 2.5.1.1) from chicken liver, pig liver, and yeast has been purified to homogeneity in a single chromatographic step by affinity chromatography [4].
