mevalonate kinase

mevalonate kinase
me·val·o·nate ki·nase (mə-valґo-nāt kiґnās) [EC 2.7.1.36] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of mevalonate as a step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and other isoprenoids. Deficiency of the enzyme causes mevalonicaciduria.
