Background
This gene encodes a peroxisomal enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of mevalonate 5-phosphate into mevalonate 5-diphosphate, the fifth reaction of the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. Studies in rat show that the message level and the enzyme activity of this protein is regulated by sterol, and that this regulation is coordinated with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis.

Function
catalytic activity:ATP + (R)-5-phosphomevalonate = ADP + (R)-5-diphosphomevalonate.,induction:By sterol.,pathway:Isoprenoid biosynthesis; isopentenyl-PP biosynthesis via mevalonic acid pathway; isopentenyl-PP from (R)-mevalonic acid: step 2/3.,subunit:Monomer.,tissue specificity:Heart, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, and pancreas. Lower level in brain, placenta, and lung.,
