Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityAcetyl-CoA + H(2)O + acetoacetyl-CoA = (S)-3- hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA + CoA. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10116}.
FunctionThis enzyme condenses acetyl-CoA with acetoacetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA, which is the substrate for HMG-CoA reductase. {ECO:0000250}.
PathwayMetabolic intermediate biosynthesis; (R)-mevalonate biosynthesis; (R)-mevalonate from acetyl-CoA: step 2/3.
SimilarityBelongs to the HMG-CoA synthase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationCytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
