General description

DL-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) is obtained from acetyl-CoA and acetoacetyl-CoA during condensation with the help of HMG-CoA synthase.

Application

DL-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A sodium salt hydrate has been used in drug treatment to study its effect on mTORC1 regulation. It has also been used to compare the acylomes of two reactive acyl-CoA species, like HMG-CoA and glutaryl-CoA.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DL-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) acts as a precursor of cholesterol synthesis. Inhibition of HMG-CoA can decrease cholesterol synthesis. This can be converted to β-hydroxybutyrate in the blood. HMG-CoA is a regulatory enzyme for cholesterol biosynthesis, it couples with LDL receptor to regulate cholesterol synthesis, once it is inhibited it would decrease cholesterol synthesis.
DL-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) is a substrate used to study the specificity and kinetics of the enzyme 3-hydroxyl-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. HMG-CoA is the key intermediate in the biosynthsis of terpenes and ketone bodies. Its metabolism is the target of statin drugs used to control cholesterol levels.
