This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-52547. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Reductase (HMGCR) is a key enzyme in the mevalonate pathway, which is critical for the biosynthesis of cholesterol and other isoprenoids. HMGCR catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a rate-limiting step in the production of cholesterol. Due to its central role in cholesterol synthesis, HMGCR is a primary target for statin drugs, which are used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
