HMGCS1 also known as hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase, cytoplasmic. This enzyme condenses acetyl-CoA with acetoacetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA, which is the substrate for HMG-CoA reductase. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-520 of human HMGCS1, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
