Metabolite Identification
Common NamePrephytoene diphosphate
DescriptionPhytoene is a precursor to carotenoids. Prephytoene comes from geranyl geranyl diphosphate (GGPP). Carotenoids are essential for life. Prephytoene diphosphate is involved in the following two reactions: 1) Prephytoene diphosphate + H+ + NADPH <=> Pyrophosphate + cis-Phytoene + NADP+ and 2) Geranylgeranyl diphosphate <=> Pyrophosphate + Prephytoene diphosphate + H+.
