(E)-4-Hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate(E)-4-Hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate (HMBPP or HMB-PP) is an intermediate of the MEP pathway (non-mevalonate pathway) of isoprenoid biosynthesis. The enzyme HMB-PP synthase (GcpE, IspG) catalyzes the conversion of 2-C-methyl- D -erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate (MEcPP) into HMB-PP.
