Gene:
mevalonate kinase (mevalonic aciduria)
Gene ID:
206219
Symbol:
MVK
Species:
1000
Description:
MVK encodes the peroxisomal enzyme mevalonate kinase. Mevalonate is a key intermediate, and mevalonate kinase a key early enzyme, in isoprenoid and sterol synthesis. Mevalonate kinase deficiency caused by mutation of MVK results in mevalonic aciduria.
