phospholipid biosynthetic process 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. acetate-mevalonate pathway farnesyl diphosphate formation, mevalonate pathway GO:0010142 isoprenoid pathway farnesyl diphosphate synthesis, mevalonate pathway biological_process farnesyl diphosphate anabolism, mevalonate pathway Ac-MVA pathway terpenoid biosynthetic process farnesyl diphosphate metabolic process isoprenoid biosynthetic process via mevalonate
