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)
