<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Terpene]]s and [[terpenoid|isoprenoids]] are a large class of lipids that include the [[carotenoid]]s and form the largest class of plant [[natural product]]s. These compounds are made by the assembly and modification of [[isoprene]] units donated from the reactive precursors [[isopentenyl pyrophosphate]] and [[dimethylallyl pyrophosphate]]. These precursors can be made in different ways. In animals and archaea, the [[mevalonate pathway]] produces these compounds from acetyl-CoA, while in plants and bacteria the [[non-mevalonate pathway]] uses pyruvate and [[glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate]] as substrates. One important reaction that uses these activated isoprene donors is [[steroid biosynthesis|sterol biosynthesis]]. Here, the isoprene units are joined to make [[squalene]] and then folded up and formed into a set of rings to make [[lanosterol]]. Lanosterol can then be converted into other sterols such as [[cholesterol]] and [[ergosterol]].</div>FuzzyBot
