Effect of mevalonate analogues upon cholesterol biosynthesis
Three analogues of mevalonic acid have been found to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis in liver homogenates in the following order of efficacy: 3-methyl-3-hydroxy pentanoic acid > Δ2-3-methyl pentenoic acid > Δ3-3-methyl pentenoic acid.

Group IVC cytosolic phospholipase A2γ is farnesylated and palmitoylated in mammalian cells
Cytosolic phospholipase A2γ (cPLA2γ) is a member of the group IV family of intracellular phospholipase A2 enzymes, but unlike the well-studied cPLA2α, it is constitutively bound to membrane and is calcium independent.

Interaction Between Mevalonate Pathway and Retinoic Acid‐Induced Differentiation [PDF]
All trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a potent inducer of differentiation of HL‐60 cell line. The pretreatment of the cells by compactin, a competitive inhibitor of 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl (HMG) CoA reductase, during 24 hours, enhances the ATRA‐induced cell differentiation.

Mevalonate kinase deficiencies: from mevalonic aciduria to hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome
Mevalonic aciduria (MVA) and hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome (HIDS) represent the two ends of a clinical spectrum of disease caused by deficiency of mevalonate kinase (MVK), the first committed enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis.
