HMGCL blocking peptide
HMGCL Antibody (N-term) Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the HMG-CoA lyase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the final step of leucine degradation and plays a key role in ketone body formation. Mutations in this gene are associated with HMG-CoA lyase deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description
HMGCL: Key enzyme in ketogenesis (ketone body formation). Terminal step in leucine catabolism. Defects in HMGCL are the cause of 3-hydroxy-3- methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency (HMGCLD); also known as hydroxymethylglutaricaciduria or HL deficiency. An autosomal recessive disease affecting ketogenesis and L-leucine catabolism. The disease usually appears in the first year of life after a fasting period and its clinical acute symptoms include vomiting, seizures, metabolic acidosis, hypoketotic hypoglycemia and lethargy. These symptoms sometimes progress to coma, with fatal outcome in some cases. Belongs to the HMG-CoA lyase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The HMGCL hmgcl (Catalog #AAA9223167) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "HMGCL, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
