Research Progress on Mevalonate Kinase Genes

Xiusheng Chu

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Isoprenoids,including sterols,dolichols,ubiquinones,chlorophylls,carotenoids,and growth regulators etc.,are essential for organism growth and development.They are synthesized by a series of enzymes involved in mevalonate pathway.This paper summarized the progress in biological characteristics,gene cloning,and gene expression of rate-limited enzyme,which would provide theoretical basis for application of mevalonate kinase gene in controlling disease and pest,and improving animal and crop.
