Protein
Diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase 2
Function
Performs the first committed step in the biosynthesis of isoprene-containing compounds such as sterols and terpenoids (By similarity). Component of the triterpenes (e.g. ginsenosides or panaxosides) and phytosterols biosynthetic pathways (PubMed:24933610, PubMed:29378087). Promotes the accumulation of stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol (PubMed:24933610).
Similarity
Belongs to the diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase family.
