GO TERM SUMMARY
|
Name: |
isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway |
Acc: |
GO:0019287 |
Aspect: |
Biological Process |
Desc: |
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of isopentenyl diphosphate, via the intermediate mevalonate. This pathway converts acetate, in the form of acetyl-CoA, to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), the fundamental unit in isoprenoid biosynthesis, through a series of mevalonate intermediates. |
Synonyms:
- Ac-MVA pathway
- acetate-mevalonate pathway
- isopentenyl diphosphate anabolism, mevalonate pathway
- isopentenyl diphosphate formation, mevalonate pathway
- isopentenyl diphosphate synthesis, mevalonate pathway
