Farnesol-Mediated Regulation Of Hepatic Lipid Metabolism In Heparg Cells
… PPARα pathway. </p> <p> Farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) is a branch-point intermediate in the mevalonate pathway that is normally converted mainly to squalene by squalene synthase in the first committed step of sterol biosynthesis. Treatment with the squalene synthase inhibitor squalestatin 1 (SQ1) …

Novel Agonists and Antagonists of Platelet Receptors
… found that one of them, farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), had an antagonistic effect on ADP induced platelet activation. Further investigation on FPP with [35S]GTPγS binding and docking studies confirmed that FPP is an endogenous antagonist on the platelet P2Y12 receptor.

Reconstructing NDVI Time Series from Landsat and MODIS and Developing a Species-Specific Validation Dataset for Vegetation Classification in Frontenac Provincial Park
… survey dataset for Frontenac Provincial Park (FPP). SOS was analyzed from MODIS-derived NDVI (2000-2023) and a gap-filled Landsat (1988-2018) time series, each with distinct workflows but using a 0.7 NDVI threshold. R package phenofit was applied to gap-fill the MODIS timeseries, while Landsat …

Studies on the Stereochemistry and Mechanism of Taxadiene Biosynthesis
Enzyme-mediated cyclization of GPP, FPP, and GGPP goes through various carbocationic intermediates, and methoxy analogs of these substrates would provide strong stabilization towards the carbocation intermediates. Upon release from the enzyme, the non-natural products would provide valuable …
