What it does, reaction by reaction

1 reactions

Cholesterol Biosynthesis (Mevalonate Pathway) Lipid Metabolism · Cytosol + ER

step 2 Irreversible/directional

Acetoacetyl-CoA + acetyl-CoA + H2O → HMG-CoA + CoA-SH

Converts Acetoacetyl-CoA Acetyl-CoA H2O into HMG-CoA CoA-SH

Notes

Cytosolic HMG-CoA synthase (HMGCS1) forms 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA. It is distinct from mitochondrial HMGCS2 of ketogenesis.
