Term Name:	farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway
Synonyms:	Ac-MVA pathway, acetate-mevalonate pathway, farnesyl diphosphate anabolism, mevalonate pathway, farnesyl diphosphate formation, mevalonate pathway, farnesyl diphosphate synthesis, mevalonate pathway, isoprenoid pathway
Definition:	The pathway that converts acetate, in the form of acetyl-CoA, to farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) through a series of mevalonate intermediates. Farnesyl diphosphate is an important substrate for other essential pathways, such as biosynthesis of sterols.
