Mammalian protein found in Homo sapiens
Mevalonate kinase is an enzyme (specifically a kinase ) that in humans is encoded by the MVK gene .[ 6] [ 7] Mevalonate kinases are found in a wide variety of organisms from bacteria to mammals. This enzyme catalyzes the following reaction:
.
ATP + (R) -mevalonate
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
ADP + (R) -5-phosphomevalonate
