Tissue Expression
Expression in liver is 200-fold higher than in any other tissue. Low expression in colon, kidney, testis, and pancreas. Very low expression in heart and skeletal muscle (PubMed:7893153, PubMed:21952825, PubMed:16940161). Not detected in brain (PubMed:21952825).; [Isoform 3]: Highest expression detected in heart and skeletal muscle.

Research Areas
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.
