|Section2= |Section3= }} Isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP, isopentenyl diphosphate, or IDP)〔http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2014/NP/C3NP70124G#!divAbstract〕 is an intermediate in the classical, HMG-CoA reductase pathway (commonly called the mevalonate pathway), and is used by organisms in the biosynthesis of terpenes and terpenoids. IPP is formed from acetyl-CoA via the mevalonate pathway (the "upstream" part), and then is isomerized to dimethylallyl pyrophosphate by the enzyme isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase.〔Chang, Wei-chen; Song, Heng; Liu, Hung-wen; Liu, Pinghua "Current development in isoprenoid precursor biosynthesis and regulation" Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2013 volume 17, pp. 571-579. 〕 IPP can be synthesized via the alternative, non-mevalonate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis instead, where it is formed from (''E'')-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate (HMB-PP) by the enzyme HMB-PP reductase (LytB, IspH). The non-mevalonate pathway is utilized by many bacteria, apicomplexan protozoa such as malaria parasites, and the plastids of higher plants. ==See also== * Dimethylallyltranstransferase 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「isopentenyl pyrophosphate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
