Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, dolichols (C(70-120)) play indispensable roles as glycosyl carrier lipids in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins on endoplasmic reticulum. In addition to dolichols, seed plants have other types of Z,E-mixed polyisoprenoids termed ficaprenol (tri-trans,poly-cis-polyprenol, C(45-75)) and betulaprenol (di-trans,poly-cis-polyprenol, C(30-45) and C(≥70)) in abundance. However, the physiological...
