Protein name Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase, mitochondrial (HMG-CoA synthase) (EC 2.3.3.10) (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthase)
Protein function Catalyzes the first irreversible step in ketogenesis, condensing acetyl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA, which is converted by HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) into mevalonate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11228257, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23751782, ECO:00002
