Biochem/physiol Actions

Metabolite of the mevalonate pathway, which plays a key role in the biosynthesis of sterols, dolichol, heme and ubiquinone. Of interest for research in the disease areas oncology, autoimmune diseases, artherosclerosis and Alzheimer disease, as well as for inherited deficiencies of mevalonate kinase. Mevalonic acid 5-pyrophosphate was shown to elevate ubiquinone levels in rat liver tissues.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
