MVD2

Gene
MVD2
Protein
Diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase 2
Organism
Panax ginseng
Length
420 amino acids
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.

Gene
MVD2
Protein
Diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase MVD2, peroxisomal
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
419 amino acids
Function
Performs the first committed step in the biosynthesis of isoprene-containing compounds such as sterols and terpenoids. Is specific for (R)-5-diphosphomevalonate (MVAPP). The catalytic efficiency with (R)-5-phosphomevalonate (MVAP) as substrate is 10000-fold lower than for MVAPP.
Similarity
Belongs to the diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase family.
