Abstract excerpt
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A lyase (HL) catalyzes the final step of ketogenesis, an important pathway of mammalian energy metabolism. HL deficiency is an autosomal recessive inborn error in man leading to episodes of hypoglycemia and coma. Using the N-terminal peptide sequence of purified chicken liver HL, we designed degenerate sequence primers and amplified an 89-base pair (bp) chicken liver HL cDNA...
