3-Hydroxymethyl-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Lyase Recombinant Protein | HMGCL recombinant protein
Recombinant Human 3-Hydroxymethyl-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Lyase
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Introduction: Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase (HMGCL) is a mitochondrial matrix protein which is a member of the HMG-CoA lyase family. HMGCL is a homodimer and participates in leucine catabolism and ketogenesis, the hepatic synthesis of ketone bodies which, during fasting, provides a major source of energy for the heart, brain and kidney. More precisely, HMGCL catalyzes the final step of these processes, the cleavage of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA to acetoacetic acid and acetyl-CoA.
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.
