Geranylgeranyl-PP
Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, also known as geranylgeranyl-PP or GGPP, is an intermediate in the HMG-CoA reductase pathway used by organisms in the biosynthesis of terpenes and terpenoids. This compound belongs to the family of acyclic diterpenes. These are diterpenes (compounds made of four consecutive isoprene units) that do not contain a cycle. Thus, GGPP is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. GGPP is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate is an intermediate in the HMG-CoA reductase pathway used by organisms in the biosynthesis of terpenes and terpenoids. [HMDB]. Geranylgeranyl-PP is found in many foods, some of which are burdock, longan, calabash, and cloves.
ent-Copalyl diphosphate
Ent-copalyl diphosphate, also known as (-)-copalyl diphosphoric acid or 5a,9a,10b-labda-8(20),13-dien-15-yl diphosphate, is a member of the class of compounds known as diterpenoids. Diterpenoids are terpene compounds formed by four isoprene units. Thus, ent-copalyl diphosphate is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Ent-copalyl diphosphate is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Ent-copalyl diphosphate can be found in a number of food items such as german camomile, sweet basil, eggplant, and cardoon, which makes ent-copalyl diphosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
