Product Description
Mevalonate Decarboxylase Human Recombinant
Overview
Diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase (MVD) catalyzes the conversion of mevalonate pyrophosphate into isopentenyl pyrophosphate in one of the early steps in cholesterol biosynthesis. MVD decarboxylates and dehydrates its substrate while hydrolyzing ATP. MVD is expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle, lung, liver, brain, pancreas, kidney and placenta.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
