3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase | Cytological Location | 1p36.11 |
Brief Description | 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase |
Description | The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the HMG-CoA lyase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the final step of leucine degradation and plays a key role in ketone body formation. Mutations in this gene are associated with HMG-CoA lyase deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009] |
