Synonyms | MPD {ECO:0000303|PubMed:14972328} |
Function | Catalyzes the ATP dependent decarboxylation of (R)-5- diphosphomevalonate to form isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP). Functions in the mevalonate (MVA) pathway leading to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), a key precursor for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids and sterol synthesis. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, lung, liver, brain, pancreas, kidney and placenta. |

Background
The enzyme mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase catalyzes the conversion of mevalonate pyrophosphate into isopentenyl pyrophosphate in one of the early steps in cholesterol biosynthesis. It decarboxylates and dehydrates its substrate while hydrolyzing ATP.
