General Information
Term farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway ID (Ontology) GO:0010142 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The pathway that converts acetate, in the form of acetyl-CoA, to farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) through a series of mevalonate intermediates. Farnesyl diphosphate is an important substrate for other essential pathways, such as biosynthesis of sterols.
Also Known As "farnesyl diphosphate anabolism, mevalonate pathway" ; "farnesyl diphosphate formation, mevalonate pathway" ; "farnesyl diphosphate synthesis, mevalonate pathway" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
