isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway

Term ID

GO:0019287

Synonyms

Ac-MVA pathway
acetate-mevalonate pathway
isopentenyl diphosphate anabolism, mevalonate pathway
isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic process via mevalonate
isopentenyl diphosphate formation, mevalonate pathway
isopentenyl diphosphate synthesis, mevalonate pathway

Definition

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of isopentenyl diphosphate, via the intermediate mevalonate. This pathway converts acetate, in the form of acetyl-CoA, to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), the fundamental unit in isoprenoid biosynthesis, through a series of mevalonate intermediates.
