MeSH definition : A post-translational modification of proteins by the attachment of an isoprenoid to
the C-terminal cysteine residue. The isoprenoids used, farnesyl diphosphate or geranylgeranyl
diphosphate, are derived from the same biochemical pathway that produces cholesterol.;
MeSH synonym : prenylation, protein;
MeSH hyponym : protein farnesylation; protein polyisoprenylation; protein isoprenylation; protein geranylgeranylation; Polyisoprenylation, Protein; Post-Translational Isoprenylation; Farnesylation, Protein; Geranylgeranylation, Protein;
