HMG-CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, official symbol HMGCR) is the rate-controlling enzyme (NADH-dependent, EC 1.1.1.88; NADPH-dependent, EC 1.1.1.34) of the mevalonate pathway, the metabolic pathway that …

The human hmgr gene that encodes the single human HMG-CoA reductase is located on chromosome 5, map location 5q13.3-5q14, and is over 24.8 kilobases (kb) long.

The seven decades of research on the mechanism of HMG-CoA Reductase (HMGR) provided a detailed reaction pathway for what is one of the most biomedically important and mechanistically most complex enzymes. HMGR is the target of statins that are ...

HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR), a highly conserved, membrane-bound enzyme, catalyzes a rate-limiting step in sterol and isoprenoid biosynthesis and is the primary target of hypocholesterolemic drug therapy. HMGR activity is tightly regulated to ensure ...

Dec 25, 2024 · HMGCR (3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Reductase) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with HMGCR include Muscular Dystrophy, Limb-Girdle, Autosomal Recessive 28 and Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Level Quantitative Trait Locus 3. Among its related pathways are superpathway of cholesterol biosynthesis and Metabolism of steroids.

HMG-CoA reductase is the rate-limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis and is regulated via a negative feedback mechanism mediated by sterols and non-sterol metabolites derived from mevalonate, the product of the reaction catalyzed by reductase.
