- Name
- isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway
- Ontology or CV name
- GO biological process
- Definition
- The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of isopentenyl diphosphate, via the intermediate mevalonate. This pathway converts acetate, in the form of acetyl-CoA, to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), the fundamental unit in isoprenoid biosynthesis, through a series of mevalonate intermediates.
