Production of mevalonate is the rate-limiting and irreversible step in cholesterol synthesis and is the site of action for statins.
Acetyl-CoA is coming from Citric Acid Cycle.
Mevalonate pathway
Acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase
Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase or HMG-CoA synthase; EC 2.3.3.10
HMG-CoA Reductase
Mevalonate kinase
Phosphomevalonate kinase
- The Crystal Structure of Human Phosphomavelonate Kinase At 1.8 A Resolution 3ch4
Mevalonate-5-pyrophosphate decarboxylase
Diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.33), most commonly referred to in scientific literature as mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase.
Isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase
Isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.3.2, IPP isomerase), also known as Isopentenyl-diphosphate delta isomerase
Mevalonate is finally converted to isopentenyl pyrophosphate.
