What it does, reaction by reaction
Cholesterol Biosynthesis (Mevalonate Pathway) Lipid Metabolism · Cytosol + ER
5-Pyrophosphomevalonate + ATP → 3-phospho-5-pyrophosphomevalonate + ADP
Converts 5-Pyrophosphomevalonate ATP into 3-Phospho-5-pyrophosphomevalonate ADP
› Notes
Mevalonate-5-pyrophosphate decarboxylase phosphorylates the C3 hydroxyl. ATP is consumed; this preparatory phosphorylation enables the subsequent decarboxylation.
3-Phospho-5-pyrophosphomevalonate → isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) + CO2 + Pi
Converts 3-Phospho-5-pyrophosphomevalonate into Isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) CO2 Pi
› Notes
The same mevalonate-5-pyrophosphate decarboxylase catalyzes decarboxylation/elimination to form activated C5 isoprene unit IPP. Together, steps 4–7 consume three ATP per IPP.
