FAMILY

diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as MVD2_ARATH, MVD2, MDD2. 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. Homodimer.
