Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2224
Gene name Farnesyl diphosphate synthase
Gene symbol FDPS
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
FPPSFPSPOROK9
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q22
Summary This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the production of geranyl pyrophosphate and farnesyl pyrophosphate from isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. The resulting product, farnesyl pyrophosphate, is a key intermediate in cholester
