| 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}. | |
