Product Description

Mevalonic acid is an intermediate in the mevalonate pathway, producing terpenes and steroids. This function provides treatment options metabolic disorders, R-mevalonate accumulates in patients with the autosomal recessively inherited mevalonic acidurias, an inborn error of cholesterol and nonsterol isoprene biosynthesis. Mevalonic acid may be used as a reference material in assays for the separation or detection of mevalonic acid. Mevalonic acid is a precursor of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and the mevalonate pathway which leads to isoprenoid biosynthesis. Mevalonic acid may be used as a substrate to identify and characterize mevalonate kinase(s). Synonyms: Lithium (R)-3,5-dihydroxy-3-methylpentanoate, Lithium (R)-3,5-dihydroxy-3-methylvalerate, R-MVA-Li CAS Number: 1255502-07-8 Molecular Formula: C6H11LiO4 Molecular Weight: 154.09 Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder Purity (qNMR): 93% Optical Activity: [alpha]/D -263, c = 0.1 in 0.1 M HCl (16 h) Proton NMR Spectrum: Conforms to structure Storage and Stability: Store at 4C.
