Term Name:	isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway
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.
