farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway
farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway
The pathway that converts acetate, in the form of acetyl-CoA, to farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) through a series of mevalonate intermediates. Farnesyl diphosphate is an important substrate for other essential pathways, such as biosynthesis of sterols.
