======= HMGCS2 ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: HMGCS2 * **Official Name**: 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=3158|3158]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P54868|P54868]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=HMGCS2&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20HMGCS2|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/600234|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: The protein encoded by this gene 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. Mutations in this gene are associated with HMG-CoA synthase deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]. * **UniProt Summary**: This enzyme condenses acetyl-CoA with acetoacetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA, which is the substrate for HMG-CoA reductase. |HMG CoA synt C| |HMG CoA synt N| |farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway| |isoprenoid biosynthetic process via mevalonate| |hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase activity| |farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process| |farnesyl diphosphate metabolic process| |ketone body biosynthetic process| |cellular ketone body metabolic process| |ketone body metabolic process| |terpenoid biosynthetic process| |isoprenoid biosynthetic process| |acetyl-CoA metabolic process| |cholesterol biosynthetic process| |secondary alcohol biosynthetic process| |sterol biosynthetic process| |fatty acid derivative biosynthetic process| |acyl-CoA metabolic process| |thioester metabolic process| |alcohol biosynthetic process| |cholesterol metabolic process| |terpenoid metabolic process| |steroid biosynthetic process| |secondary alcohol metabolic process| |purine nucleoside bisphosphate metabolic process| |nucleoside bisphosphate metabolic process| |ribonucleoside bisphosphate metabolic process| |sterol metabolic process| |isoprenoid metabolic process| |fatty acid derivative metabolic process| |organic hydroxy compound biosynthetic process| |phospholipid biosynthetic process| |coenzyme metabolic process| |steroid metabolic process| |purine ribonucleotide metabolic process| |alcohol metabolic process| |ribonucleotide metabolic process| |purine nucleotide metabolic process| |ribose phosphate metabolic process| |sulfur compound metabolic process| |purine-containing compound metabolic process| |mitochondrial matrix| |phospholipid metabolic process| |regulation of lipid metabolic process| |generation of precursor metabolites and energy| |cofactor metabolic process| |nucleotide metabolic process| |nucleoside phosphate metabolic process| |organic hydroxy compound metabolic process| |drug metabolic process| |organophosphate biosynthetic process| |nucleobase-containing small molecule metabolic process| |lipid biosynthetic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |cellular amide metabolic process| |organophosphate metabolic process| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |carbohydrate derivative metabolic process| |lipid metabolic process| |mitochondrion| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |small molecule metabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp114|A-196 10μM R03 exp114]]|-2.1| |[[:results:exp75|MK-1775 0.32μM R02 exp75]]|-1.92| |[[:results:exp516|Pyrazinamide 100μM R08 exp516]]|-1.85| |[[:results:exp68|Clomiphene 4.4μM R02 exp68]]|-1.82| |[[:results:exp4|Actinomycin-D 0.01μM R00 exp4]]|1.73| |[[:results:exp426|FBS-Wisent 0.1 R07 exp426]]|2.09| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
