HMGCL Gene

Name 3-hydroxymethyl-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]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nHMG‐CoA lyase (HMGCL) is a pivotal mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the divalent cation–dependent cleavage of HMG‐CoA into acetoacetate and acetyl‐CoA, thereby furnishing the essential substrates for ketone body production and L‐leucine catabolism. Detailed structural studies have revealed that HMGCL adopts a (β/α)8 TIM barrel conformation and functions as a dimer, with critical active site residues—such as Arg41, Asp42, His233, His235, Cys266, and key C-terminal amino acids—being indispensable for proper substrate orientation and catalytic turnover."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "5"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nAlternative splicing and the existence of isoforms further underscore the complexity of HMGCL regulation.
