Gene Symbol:
HMGCR Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
Full name:
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase
Synonyms:
LDLCQ3, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Coenzyme A reductase, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (NADPH), HMG-CoA reductase, hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase
Genomic Location:
Chr 5: 74668855-74693681
Description:
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. Normally in mammalian cells this enzyme is suppressed by cholesterol derived from the internalization a...
