Background Information
The enzyme mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase(MVD) catalyzes the conversion of mevalonate pyrophosphate into isopentenyl pyrophosphate. It is also named as MPD and as a unique enzyme in one of the early steps in cholesterol biosynthesis, MVD may be a useful target for drugs aimed at lowering serum cholesterol levels(PMID:8626466). The intracellular glycosylation does not contribute to the difference between the 45 and 37 kDa species of MVD. The native MVD has a molecular weight of 90 kDa that it consists of two identical subunits of 45 kDa and a 37 kDa protein is also found as a subunit of MVD and this type of MVD may be a 74 kDa.But the 37 kDa enzyme appeared only when the rats are fed the CP diet.(PMID:9348097).
