In fact, though, the decarboxylation of a β-keto acid and the decarboxylation of mevalonate 5-diphosphate are closely related.

Linking between two isoprene molecules could occur in three ways, given that the head and the tail of the molecule are primarily involved in the linking:

They play crucial roles in various physiological processes, including inflammation, pain, fever, and regulation of blood flow. Prostaglandins are synthesized through cyclooxygenase enzymes, leading to diverse biological effects. Eicosanoids can also influence immune responses and are implicated in numerous diseases.

Isolation of these substances from the various parts of plants, even from the wood in some cases, by steam distillation or ether extraction gives what are known as essential oils.

A majority of these compounds are found only in plants, but some of the larger and more complex terpenes (e.g. squalene & lanosterol) occur in animals.
