Geranylgeranyl reductase (GGR) catalyzes the hydrogenation of carbon–carbon double bonds of unsaturated hydrocarbons of isoprenoid compounds, including α-tocopherols, phylloquinone, archaeal cell membranes, and (bacterio)chlorophyll pigments in various organisms. GGRs in photosynthetic organisms, including anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria, cyanobacteria, and plants perform successive triple hydrogenation to produce chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls with a phytyl chain.
