3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase, cytoplasmic (HMGCLL1)

Non-mitochondrial 3-hydroxymethyl-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase that catalyzes a cation-dependent cleavage of (S)-3-hydroxy- 3-methylglutaryl-CoA into acetyl-CoA and acetoacetate, an integral step in ketogenesis, the goods of which support energy production in nonhepatic animal cells. .
