UniProt functional annotation for Q99JF5

UniProt code: Q99JF5.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: Catalyzes the ATP dependent decarboxylation of (R)-5- diphosphomevalonate to form isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP). Functions in the mevalonate (MVA) pathway leading to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), a key precursor for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids and sterol synthesis. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P53602}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=(R)-5-diphosphomevalonate + ATP = ADP + CO2 + isopentenyl diphosphate + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:23732, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:57557, ChEBI:CHEBI:128769, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=4.1.1.33; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P53602};
Pathway: Steroid biosynthesis; cholesterol biosynthesis. {ECO:0000305}.
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P53602}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12736493}.
Similarity: Belongs to the diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase family. {ECO:0000305}.
