Alkaline hydrolysis of mevalonolactone gives mevalonate. Mevalonate is a precursor of farnesyl and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphates. These pyrophosphates are required for protein prenylation. 用途 (±)-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) Product Introduction Alkaline hydrolysis of mevalonolactone gives mevalonate.
