Summary: Enables identical protein binding activity and protein phosphatase 2A binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; positive regulation of MAPK cascade; and regulation of striated muscle cell apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and peroxisomal membrane. Used to study Wilson disease; drug-induced hepatitis; end stage renal disease; pulmonary hypertension; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of chronic kidney disease; end stage renal disease; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; and premature menopause. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; coronary artery disease (multiple); diabetes mellitus (multiple); muscular disease (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human HMGCR (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
