Descripción

General description

Alkaline hydrolysis of mevalonolactone gives mevalonate. Mevalonate is a precursor of farnesyl and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphates. These pyrophosphates are required for protein prenylation.

Application

(±)-Mevalonolactone is used to:

• study the effect of statin on the prenylation of Ras and Rho GTPases
• analyse the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathways in Listeria monocytogenes
• study the the effects of statins on proliferation and migration of HUVECs (HGF-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells)
