Hepatic CYP3A4 Enzyme Compensatively Maintains Endogenous Geranylgeranoic Acid Levels in <i>MAOB</i>-Knockout Human Hepatoma Cells

Geranylgeranoic acid (GGA), developed as a preventive agent against second primary hepatoma, has been reported to be biosynthesized via the mevalonate pathway in human hepatoma-derived cells. Recently, we found that monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) catalyzed the oxidation of geranylgeraniol (GGOH) to prod...
