-'''Mevalonate kinase''' (MK) is the first enzyme in the mevalonate pathway which synthesizes sterol isoprenoids like cholesterol and non-sterol isoprenoids like ubiquinone<ref>PMID:17467679</ref>.  MK catalyzes the conversion of mevalonate to 5-phosphomevalonate.

-The 3D structure of MK complex with mevalonate shows the enzyme composed of 2 domains: The N-terminal and the C-terminal.  The mevalonate binds in a deep cleft between the 2 domains forming H-bond interactions with Arg and Tyr residues and several hydrophobic interactions<ref>PMID:17397541</ref>.
