Dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase complex subunit NUS1

UniProtKB accession:  Q12063

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  With SRT1 or RER2, forms the dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase (DDS) complex, an essential component of the dolichol monophosphate (Dol-P) biosynthetic machinery. Adds multiple copies of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) to farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) to produce dehydrodolichyl diphosphate (Dedol-PP), a precursor of dolichol which is utilized as a sugar carrier in protein glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
