Descripción general

The HMG-CoA Reductase Assay Kit is an important tool for the basic research of cholesterol and other related metabolic pathways.

Aplicación

The HMGR activity kit is designed for the detection of HMG-CoA reductase activity. A major function of the kit is to screen for various inhibitors and activators of the purified catalytic subunit of the enzyme, HMG-CoA reductase, which may play a crucial role in therapeutics. The assay is based on the spectrophotometric measurement of the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm, which represents the oxidation of NADPH by the catalytic subunit of HMGR in the presence of the substrate HMG-CoA.

Acciones bioquímicas o fisiológicas

HMGR (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase) is a transmembrane glycoprotein located on the endoplasmic reticulum.[1] This enzyme catalyzes the four-electron reduction of HMG-CoA to coenzyme A (CoA) and mevalonate, which is the rate-limiting step in sterol biosynthesis.[2] The activity of HMGR is controlled through synthesis, degradation, and phosphorylation in order to maintain the concentration of mevalonate derived products. In addition to the physiological regulation of HMGR, the human enzyme has been targeted successfully by drugs in the clinical treatment of high serum cholesterol levels.[3][4] Controlling serum cholesterol levels has an important therapeutic role since hypercholesterolemia often leads to the development of atherosclerosis and subsequently to cardiovascular pathologies, which might result in myocardial infarction and stroke. It has been suggested that a disturbance of cholesterol homeostasis contributes to the development of a chronic inflammatory state.[5]

Questions

1–6 of 6 Questions  
  1. Is this suitable for the analysis of compounds dissolved in DMSO for comparing the ability of some compounds to inhibit HMGCR? Specifically, using 1 ul of the compound solution (0.05, 0.5, 5 mM stock buffer) and 1 ul DMSO (solvent alone) as control, the signal @ 340 nM did not significantly decrease after a 10-minute kinetic program (signal capture every 20 seconds according to the protocol). There was only a 15-20 percent decrease in the read. Is this normal, or is DMSO incompatible with the enzyme reaction, or can some improvement be made?

    1 answer
    1. As per the QC specialist group, in the product CS1090, there isn't any experience with DMSO (all kit's components are without DMSO), so the information cannot provided about DMSO incompatibility. After reviewing the raw data, a good slope was observed with the enzyme; for example, with 6ug (10ul) enzyme, the slope was 0.3-0.5.
