Mevalonic acid lithium salt(CAT: I046048) is a stabilized salt form of mevalonic acid, a pivotal intermediate in the mevalonate pathway that regulates cholesterol and isoprenoid biosynthesis. This compound plays a central role in the production of essential biomolecules, including sterols, ubiquinone, dolichols, and prenylated proteins. As a research tool, mevalonic acid lithium salt is widely used to study lipid metabolism, statin pharmacology, and regulatory mechanisms of the HMG-CoA reductase pathway. Its stability and solubility make it suitable for biochemical assays, cell culture studies, and metabolic profiling, offering valuable insights into cholesterol homeostasis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorder research.
