RGD ID: 621506
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Mapk8
Name: mitogen-activated protein kinase 8
Acc ID: CHEBI:9150
Term: simvastatin
Definition: A member of the class of hexahydronaphthalenes that is lovastatin in which the 2-methylbutyrate ester moiety has been replaced by a 2,2-dimethylbutyrate ester group. It is used as a cholesterol-lowering and anti-cardiovascular disease drug.
Chemical ID: MESH:D019821
