(E/Z)-Farnesyl pyrophosphate
(E/Z)-Farnesyl pyrophosphate ((E/Z)-Farnesyl diphosphate), a 15-carbon isoprenoid, is a metabolic intermediate of the mevalonate (MVA) pathway. (E/Z)-Farnesyl pyrophosphate is a TRPM2 (TRP Channel) agonist, activates TRPM2 opening for ion influx. (E/Z)-Farnesyl pyrophosphate is a key branch substrate for cholesterol synthesis, ubiquinones synthesis, protein farnesylation decoration, and geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) synthesis.

Biological Activity
(E/Z)-Farnesyl pyrophosphate functions as an identified danger signal to trigger acute cell death leading to neuron loss in stroke. Harboring both a hydrophobic 15-carbon isoprenyl chain and a heavily charged pyrophosphate head, (E/Z)-Farnesyl pyrophosphate leads to acute cell death independent of its downstream metabolic pathways. Mechanistically, extracellular calcium influx and the cation channel transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) exhibit essential roles in (E/Z)-Farnesyl pyrophosphate-induced cell death. (E/Z)-Farnesyl pyrophosphate activates TRPM2 opening for ion influx[1].
