3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Coenzyme A-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (Item No. 25394) by GC- or LC-MS. 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) is an intermediate in several metabolic pathways.1,2,3,4 Conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate by HMG-CoA reductase is the rate-limiting first step in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway.3,2 Alternatively, HMG-CoA can be cleaved into acetyl-CoA and the ketone body acetoacetate in mitochondria by HMG-CoA lyase.4,1 HMG-CoA is also an intermediate in the degradation of leucine.4
