The Evolutionary Rate Variation Among Genes of MVA and MEP Pathways in Plant Terpenoid Biosynthesis [PDF]
Abstract Background: Terpenoids are one of the most important compounds in plants, play an significant biological defense and developmental roles in numerous plant species, and widely used for industrial chemicals. Many previous studies have completed the identification of terpenoid biosynthetic pathway and related genes.

MiR-122-5p regulates the mevalonate pathway by targeting p53 in non-small cell lung cancer
The 5-year survival rate of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is very low. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the occurrence of NSCLC. miR-122-5p interacts with wild-type p53 (wtp53), and wtp53 affects tumor growth by inhibiting the mevalonate (

Discovery of a metabolic alternative to the classical mevalonate pathway
Eukarya, Archaea, and some Bacteria encode all or part of the essential mevalonate (MVA) metabolic pathway clinically modulated using statins. Curiously, two components of the MVA pathway are often absent from archaeal genomes.

Mevalonate biosynthesis pathway regulates the development and survival of brown adipocytes
Summary: The high thermogenic activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) has received considerable attention. Here, we demonstrated the role of the mevalonate (MVA) biosynthesis pathway in the regulation of brown adipocyte development and survival.
