Mvd Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable Hsp70 protein binding activity; diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in porokeratosis. Orthologous to human MVD (mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Mvd often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
