NameIPP biosynthesis via deoxyxylulose
TypePATHWAY
DescriptionThe pathway for the biosynthesis of isoprenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) in most bacteria has been variously referred to as the non-mevalonate pathway (in contrast to the pathway found in eukaryotes), the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate(GAP)-pyruvate pathway and the deoxyxylulose pathway. This pathway contains six characterized enzymes and may involve additional proteins as well.
