Description

Predicted to have hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (NADPH) activity and hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase activity. Involved in skeletal muscle tissue development. Predicted to localize to endoplasmic reticulum membrane and peroxisomal membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including asthma; coronary artery disease (multiple); dementia; diabetes mellitus (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Is expressed in gut and liver. Orthologous to human HMGCR (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase).
