Biochem/physiol Actions Mevalonic acid1,2, is an intermediate in the mevalonate pathway, producing terpenes and steroids. This function provides treatment options metabolic disorders3,4,5,6,7,8, R-mevalonate accumulates in patients with the autosomal recessively inherited mevalonic acidurias, an inborn error of cholesterol and nonsterol isoprene biosynthesis9. |
