Dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (or -diphosphate) (DMAPP) is an intermediate product of both mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway and DOXP/MEP pathway. It is an isomer of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and exists in virtually all life forms.

Image File history File links DMAPP.png Summary Chemical structure of dimethylallyl diphosphate created with ChemDraw. ... Mevalonic acid is a key organic compound in biochemistry. ... Chemical structure of isopentenyl pyrophosphate. ...
Precursor of DMAPP in the MVA pathway is mevalonic acid, and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-e-P in the DOXP/MEP pathway.
We believe today, that there is crossover between the two pathways in organisms that use both pathways to create terpenes and terpenoids, such as in plants, and that DMAPP is the crossover product. Terpenes are a class of hydrocarbons, produced by many plants, particularly conifers. ... The terpenoids, sometimes referred to as isoprenoids, are a class of naturally occurring chemicals similar to terpenes, derived from five-carbon isoprene units assembled and modified in thousands of ways. ...
