Hmgcr - 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Coenzyme A reductase Gene
Also Known as Red; HMG-CoAR
Species: Mus musculus
About Hmgcr
This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in CNS E18 (RPKM 39.9), CNS E11.5 (RPKM 3.5) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
Enables hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (NADPH) activity. Involved in negative regulation of amyloid-beta clearance; negative regulation of protein catabolic process; and negative regulation of protein secretion. Acts upstream of or within Cholesterol biosynthetic process; negative regulation of MAP kinase activity; and visual learning. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and peroxisomal membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; branchial arch; central nervous system; forelimb bud; and ganglia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including asthma; coronary artery disease (multiple); dementia; diabetes mellitus (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human HMGCR (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
