Medical Definition of Mevalonate

1. The salt or ester of mevalonic acid. Mevalonate kinase, an enzyme that catalyses the reaction of mevalonate and ATP to form ADP and mevalonate 5-phosphate; this enzyme participates in the pathway for steroid synthesis; a deficiency of this enzyme will lead to mevalonic aciduria and lack of development.
