HMGCL

SYNONYMS
Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase mitochondrial, HL, HMG-CoA lyase, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarate-CoA lyase, HMGCL.

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.

DESCRIPTION
HMGCL Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 323 amino acids (28-325) and having a molecular mass of 34.2kDa.
HMGCL is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
