Precautions | HMGCS2 Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | HMGCS2 |
---|---|
Function | Catalyzes the first irreversible step in ketogenesis, condensing acetyl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA, which is converted by HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) into mevalonate. |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P22791}. |
Tissue Location | Expression in liver is 200-fold higher than in any other tissue. Low expression in colon, kidney, testis, and pancreas Very low expression in heart and skeletal muscle (PubMed:16940161, PubMed:21952825, PubMed:7893153). Not detected in brain (PubMed:21952825). |

Background
HMGCS2 belongs to the HMG-CoA synthase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the first reaction of ketogenesis, a metabolic pathway that provides lipid-derived energy for various organs during times of carbohydrate deprivation, such as fasting.
