Background
| Function | FUNCTION: 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) (PubMed:25066056, PubMed:28842490, PubMed:32817466). Synthesizes long-chain polyprenols, mostly of C95 and C100 chain length (PubMed:32817466). Regulates the glycosylation and stability of nascent NPC2, thereby promoting trafficking of LDL-derived cholesterol (PubMed:21572394). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21572394, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25066056, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28842490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32817466}. |
| Pathway | Protein modification; protein glycosylation. Lipid metabolism. |
| Protein Families | UPP synthase family |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed at high levels in testis and kidney. Expressed in epididymis (at protein level). Slightly expressed in heart, spleen and thymus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20736409}. |
