Gene ID: 4598 | Gene type: protein coding

About MVK

Cytogenetic location: 12q24.11 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:109,573,272-109,598,125 (from NCBI)

This gene has 17 transcripts (splice variants), 204 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 10 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 9.3), liver (RPKM 7.8) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes the peroxisomal Enzyme mevalonate kinase. Mevalonate is a key intermediate, and mevalonate kinase a key early Enzyme, in isoprenoid and sterol synthesis. Mevalonate kinase deficiency caused by mutation of this gene results in mevalonic aciduria, a disease characterized psychomotor retardation, failure to thrive, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia and recurrent febrile crises. Defects in this gene also cause hyperimmunoglobulinaemia D and periodic fever syndrome, a disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of fever associated with lymphadenopathy, arthralgia, gastrointestinal dismay and skin rash. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
