General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes cis-prenyl chain elongation to produce the polyprenyl backbone of dolichol, a glycosyl carrier-lipid required for the biosynthesis of several classes of glycoprotein.

Pathway

Protein modification; protein glycosylation.

Tissue specificity

Expressed at high levels in testis and kidney. Slightly expressed in heart, spleen and thymus.

Involvement in disease

Defects in DHDDS are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 59 (RP59) [MIM:613861]. RP59 is a retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. Ref.6

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the UPP synthase family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q86SQ9-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: Q86SQ9-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     255-255: Q → QQ
Isoform 3 (identifier: Q86SQ9-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     109-147: Missing.
Note: May be due to exon skipping.
