Recombinant human PMVK protein
Phosphomevalonate kinase, also known as PMVK, is a cytosolic enzyme. It was expressed highly in heart, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas and slightly lower in brain, placenta, and lung. Induced by sterol, PMVK participates in isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthesis via the mevalonate pathway. PMVK catalyzes the conversion of mevalonate 5-phosphate into mevalonate 5-diphosphate in the fifth reaction of the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. Recombinant human PMVK protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
