This enzyme is isolated from the natural product biosynthetic pathways of ''Aspergillus terreus'', specifically the polyketide biosynthetic pathway. Simvastatin Synthase  converts the inactive monacolin J acid (<scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_316/Blah/3'>MJA</scene>) by dimethylbutyryl chloride to yield the protected form of simvastatin (Figure 2), which subsequently undergoes lactonization to yield simvastatin<ref name="paper5">PMID:19875080</ref>.
