Mevalonate Pathway (MVA pathway)

Target
MVA pathway
Molecular classification
Biochemical Pathway, Metabolic Pathway
01

Overview

The mevalonate pathway is a crucial metabolic route that produces isoprenoids, including cholesterol, ubiquinone, and dolichol. It is targeted by statins to lower cholesterol and is implicated in various diseases.
