Term summary

ID

GO:0010142

Name

farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway

Ontology or CV name

GO biological process

Definition

The pathway that converts acetate, in the form of acetyl-CoA, to farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) through a series of mevalonate intermediates. Farnesyl diphosphate is an important substrate for other essential pathways, such as biosynthesis of sterols.
