Background
| Function | 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22847177, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22865860, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8566388}. |
| Pathway | Metabolic intermediate metabolism; (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA degradation; acetoacetate from (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA: step 1/1. |
| Protein Families | HMG-CoA lyase family |
| Tissue Specificity | Highest expression in liver. Expressed in pancreas, kidney, intestine, testis, fibroblasts and lymphoblasts. Very low expression in brain and skeletal muscle. The relative expression of isoform 2 (at mRNA level) is highest in heart (30%), skeletal muscle (22%), and brain (14%). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21952825}. |
