The enzyme hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.5) catalyzes the reaction
The enzyme characterised from liver hydrolyses (S)-3-Hydroxy-3-
methylglutaryl-CoA to coenzyme A and the acid, meglutol, which forms the thioester in the starting material. The reaction is part of leucine metabolism.[1][2]. The enzyme may be important in the regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis in mammals.[3]
This enzyme is a hydrolase, specifically one acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name is S-(2-hydroxyacyl)glutathione hydrolase. Other names in common use include β-hydroxy-beta-methylglutaryl coenzyme A hydrolase, β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl coenzyme A deacylase, hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A hydrolase, hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A deacylase, and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA hydrolase.[4]
