Name: DL-Mevalonolactone
Price: 116.00 USD

- Overview
  - Alkaline hydrolysis of mevalonolactone gives mevalonate. Mevalonate is a precursor of farnesyl and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphates. These pyrophosphates are required for protein prenylation.
    
    Application(±)-Mevalonolactone is used to:
    • study the effect of statin on the prenylation of Ras and Rho GTPases
    • analyse the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathways in Listeria monocytogenes
    • study the the effects of statins on proliferation and migration of HUVECs (HGF-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells)
