Quantification of mevalonate-5-phosphate using UPLC-MS/MS for determination of mevalonate kinase activity

Mevalonate kinase deficiency, a rare autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disease, is caused by mutations in the MVK gene encoding mevalonate kinase (MK). MK catalyzes the phosphorylation of mevalonic acid to mevalonate-5-phosphate (MVAP) in the pathway of isoprenoid and sterol synthesis. The diseas...
