  2. Mevalonate kinase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mevalonate_kinase_deficiency

    Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is an autosomal recessive [2] metabolic disorder that disrupts the biosynthesis of cholesterol and isoprenoids. [3] It is a rare genetic disorder, but a high frequency is observed in Northern European regions.

  3. Mevalonate kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mevalonate_kinase

    As the second enzyme in the Mevalonate pathway, it catalyzes the phosphorylation of Mevalonic acid to produce Mevalonate-5-phosphate. [8] A reduction in mevalonate kinase activity to around 5-10% of its typical value is associated with the mevalonate kinase deficiency (MVD) resulting in accumulation of intermediate mevalonic acid. [9]

    The rate limiting step of cholesterol synthesis is the conversion of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) to mevalonate, this is an early step in the mevalonate pathway catalyzed by HMG-CoA reductase. [10] Reaction scheme of squalene giving lanosterol. Multiple pathways leading to cholesterol from lanosterol, including the Kandutsch-Russel ...

    One of the best-known pyrin AIDs is Mevalonate kinase deficiency, which is an enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. This loss/lack of enzyme results in mevalonic aciduria (MVA) and hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome (HIDS). [6]

    20,22-Desmolase (P450scc) deficiency: blocks production of all steroid hormones from cholesterol [citation needed]; 3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 deficiency: impairs progestogen and androgen metabolism; prevents the synthesis of estrogens, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids; causes androgen deficiency in males and androgen excess in females [citation needed]
