Biosynthetic pathway leading to plant sterols. From mevalonate to squalene.HMGR = (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase ; MVK = mevalonate kinase ; PMVK : 5-phosphomevalonate kinase ; MVDPD = mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase ; IDI = isopentenyl diphosphate-dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase ; FPS = farnesyl diphosphate synthase ; SDS = squalene synthetase.
