'''Geranylgeranyl transferase''' type 1 (GGT1) adds a 20-carbon isoprenoid group called geranylgeranyl (GG) to the C-terminal of proteins | '''Geranylgeranyl transferase''' '''type 1''' (GGT1) adds a 20-carbon isoprenoid group called geranylgeranyl (GG) to the C-terminal of proteins containing the CAAX motif (Cysteine, Aliphatic, Aliphatic, any amino acid). '''Geranylgeranyl transferase type 2''' (GGT2) adds 2 GG groups to C-terminal cysteine residue of a protein. The addition of the hydrophobic prenyl group causes the proteins to become membrane-associated<ref>PMID:16477080</ref>. | ||
