MVK is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of mevalonate, a key compound in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, into mevalonate-5-phosphate. This reaction is a crucial step in the mevalonate pathway, which ultimately leads to the production of important molecules such as cholesterol, steroid hormones, and certain vitamins. Deficiencies in MVK have been linked to a rare genetic disorder known as Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD). This condition is characterized by recurrent fevers, inflammation, and other health problems. Recent research has also shed light on the potential role of MVK in cancer development. Studies have shown that MVK may play a role in regulating cell growth and proliferation, making it a potential target for anti-cancer therapies.
Optimal dilution of the MVK antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthetic peptide specific to human Mevalonate kinase was used as the immunogen for the MVK Antibody.
Store the MVK antibody at -20oC.
