HMG-CoA Reductase (HMGCR) is the rate-limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis in the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate.Eukaryotes and prokaryotes both contain HMGCR. Two classes of HMG-CoA reductase have been identified through phylogenetic analysis: Class I enzymes found in some eukaryotes and archaea and Class II enzymes found in some eubacteria and other archaea.
The enzyme HMGCR is known to catalyze an early reaction specific to isoprenoid biosynthesis in both eukaryotes and archaebacteria. Drugs used to lower serum cholesterol levels frequently target the HMG-CoA reductase reaction because it is rate-limiting for the biosynthesis of cholesterol in humans.
