Biosynthesis
The common precursor of terpenes is isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and its isomer, dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). Both are synthesized through the mevalonate pathway (MVA pathway).

IPP isomerase EC5.3.3.2 |
Mevalonate Pathway
In the MVA pathway, 3 molecules of acetyl CoA are first condensed to produce 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA), which is then reduced using 2 molecules of NADPH to form 3(R)-mevalonic acid (MVA). The reduction by HMG-CoA reductase is considered the rate-limiting step of IPP biosynthesis (and therefore cholesterol biosynthesis), and the well-known drugs "statin" prescribed for hypercholesterolemia are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors[1]. Mevalonic acid is then twice phosphorylated by 2 molecules of ATP to form IPP.

Methylerythritol-phosphate Pathway
In plants, MVA is synthesized through the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway.
This pathway is also referred to as deoxyxylulose phosphate (DXP) or MVA-independent pathway, but the name "MEP" is preferred to specify the isoprenoid biosynthesis, because DXP is also known as a precursor of pyridoxal, the major form of Vitamin B6 in animal tissues (Vitamin B6 includes pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxine and their phosphate forms) [1].
Acetyl moiety from pyruvic acid is transferred onto D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to form 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate. Then it undergoes a reverse aldol rearrangement in an enzyme-bound manner to form a branched chain compound, 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP). MEP is attached by cytidine triphosphate (CTP) and its 2-hydroxyl position is phosphorylated, followed by a cyclization into 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-2,4-cyclophosphate. IPP and DMAPP are produced from the cyclic anhydride in still unidentified enzymatic steps.

Terpene biosynthesis
Animals and fungi lack the MEP pathway and exclusively utilize the MVA pathway in cytosol [1]. Plants use both pathways but selectively: IPP is turned into farnesyl diphosphate (C15) in the cytosol and the cytosol/endoplasmic reticulum boundary, and the mevalonate pathway is largely responsible for sesquiterpenoids (C15), steroids (C30), and triterpenoids (C30) [2]. On the other hands, enzymes related to the MEP pathway exist in plastids, and monoterpenoids (C10), diterpenoids (C20) and carotenes (C40) are synthesized mainly there [3][4].
