== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GGPPS_HUMAN GGPPS_HUMAN] Catalyzes the trans-addition of the three molecules of IPP onto DMAPP to form geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, an important precursor of carotenoids and geranylated proteins.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Post-translational prenylation of the small GTP-binding proteins (GTPases) is vital to a plethora of biological processes, including cellular proliferation. We have identified a new class of thienopyrimidine-based bisphosphonate (ThP-BP) inhibitors of the human geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase (hGGPPS) that block protein prenylation in multiple myeloma (MM) cells leading to cellular apoptosis. These inhibitors are also effective in blocking the proliferation of other types of cancer cells. We confirmed intracellular target engagement, demonstrated the mechanism of action leading to apoptosis, and determined a direct correlation between apoptosis and intracellular inhibition of hGGPPS. Administration of a ThP-BP inhibitor to a MM mouse model confirmed in vivo downregulation of Rap1A geranylgeranylation and reduction of monoclonal immunoglobulins (M-protein, a biomarker of disease burden) in the serum. These results provide the first proof-of-principle that hGGPPS is a valuable therapeutic target in oncology and more specifically for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
