Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA
Description3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA, also known as hydroxymethylglutaroyl coenzyme A or HMG-CoA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as (s)-3-hydroxy-3-alkylglutaryl coas. These are 3-hydroxy-3-alkylglutaryl-CoAs where the 3-hydroxy-3-alkylglutaryl component has (S)-configuration. Thus, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.

Enzymes

General function:
Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
This enzyme condenses acetyl-CoA with acetoacetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA, which is the substrate for HMG-CoA reductase.
Gene Name:
HMGCS2
Uniprot ID:
Q2KIE6
Molecular weight:
56895.0
Reactions
Acetyl-CoA + Acetoacetyl-CoA + Water → 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA + Coenzyme Adetails
General function:
Amino acid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Mitochondrial 3-hydroxymethyl-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase that catalyzes a cation-dependent cleavage of (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA into acetyl-CoA and acetoacetate, a key step in ketogenesis. Terminal step in leucine catabolism. Ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate and acetone) are essential as an alternative source of energy to glucose, as lipid precursors and as regulators of metabolism.
