Dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase complex variant SRT1 Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
One of two complexes involved in dolichol synthesis. An essential part of the dolichol monophosphate biosynthetic machinery; creates dehydrodolichyl diphosphate (Dedol-PP), a precursor of dolichol, by adding multiple isopentenyl pyrophosphates (IPP) to farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP). Predominate product is 17-19 IPP units.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.

transferase activity, transferase activity, transferring alkyl or aryl (other than methyl) groups, biosynthetic process, lipid metabolic process, small molecule metabolic process
