The enzyme mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase catalyzes the conversion of mevalonate pyrophosphate into isopentenyl pyrophosphate in one of the early steps in cholesterol biosynthesis. It decarboxylates and dehydrates its substrate while hydrolyzing ATP. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

酶异戊二酰焦磷酸脱羧酶催化胆固醇生物合成早期步骤中，异戊二酰焦磷酸转化为异戊烯焦磷酸的过程。在此过程中，该酶对其底物进行脱羧和脱水反应，同时水解三磷酸腺苷。该描述由RefSeq提供，数据更新于2008年7月。
