Target intelligence / Profile preview

HMG-CoA reductase mRNA expression

Molecular classification: Enzyme mRNA

Overview

HMG-CoA reductase mRNA expression is the transcriptional readout of the HMGCR gene, encoding the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. Its expression is tightly regulated by sterols, statins, and inflammatory signals, impacting cholesterol levels and isoprenoid synthesis.

Mechanism of action

Statins inhibit HMG-CoA reductase enzyme activity; affect HMGCR mRNA expression through feedback mechanisms
