Metabolite Identification
Common Name(E)-2-methylgeranyl diphosphate
Description(E)-2-methylgeranyl diphosphate is a terpenoid metabolite that belongs to the class of diphosphate esters. Its chemical structure features a geranyl backbone with a methyl group at the C-2 position, which distinguishes it from other geranyl derivatives. This compound is synthesized through the action of a C-methyltransferase enzyme, as evidenced by the incubation of recombinant SCO7701 protein with geranyl diphosphate and S-adenosylmethionine, resulting in the formation of (E)-2-methylgeranyl diphosphate (PMID:18563898 ). In terms of biochemical pathways, (E)-2-methylgeranyl diphosphate is involved in the biosynthesis of various terpenoids, which are essential for the production of a wide range of natural products, including essential oils and plant hormones. The modification of geranyl diphosphate to form (E)-2-methylgeranyl diphosphate highlights the intricate enzymatic processes that contribute to the diversity of terpenoid compounds in nature.
