TAIR Computational Description | mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase 1;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase, the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate, used in sterol and isoprenoid biosynthesis. The protein appears to form a homodimeric complex. Incidentally, it was shown that the Arabidopsis MVD protein could also interact with its yeast homolog to form a heterodimer. |
