General description

Farnesyl pyrophosphate is a 15-carbon isoprenoid synthesized from geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) by the action of enzyme farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS).[1]

Application

Farnesyl pyrophosphate ammonium salt has been used:
  • as a prenylation agonist in human osteogenic sarcoma cells in collagen-based cell invasion assays [2]
  • in the prenylation of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)[3]
  • as a substrate in prenyltransferases assay in diatom Haslea ostrearia[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) is the precursor for the biosynthesis of cholesterol, ubiquinone and dolicol. It is part of the intracellular mevalonate pathway.[1] FPP is essential for cell survival[5] and is used for prenylation of several low molecular mass G proteins, including Ras.[6] Inhibition of prenylation results in loss of oncogenic potential of Ras proteins.[7] Inhibition of prenylation may serve as therapeutic potential for management of synaptic plasticity and Alzheimer′s disease.[6]

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. What is the molarity for the product under the product number F6892

    1 answer

    1. The concentration was reported as 1 mg/ml, resulting in a calculated molarity of 2.31 mM based on the molecular weight of 433.42 g/mol. The calculation is as follows: 1M is equivalent to 433.42 g in 1L, thus 1 M is equivalent to 433.42 mg in 1ml, and consequently 1 mg/ml is approximately 2.307 mM.
