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.

What are the applications of Application

DL-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A trisodium salt is an intermediate in biosynthesis

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.
