Literature on DHDDS
DHDDS [ENSP00000353104]
Dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase complex subunit DHDDS; With NUS1, forms the dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase (DDS) complex, an essential component of the dolichol monophosphate (Dol-P) biosynthetic machinery. Both subunits contribute to enzymatic activity, i.e. condensation of multiple copies of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) to farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) to produce dehydrodolichyl diphosphate (Dedol-PP), a precursor of dolichol phosphate which is utilized as a sugar carrier in protein glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) . Regulates the glycosylation and stability of nascent NPC2, thereby promoting trafficking of LDL-derived cholesterol .
