Abstract excerpt
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase (HL, EC 4.1.3.4) catalyses the last step of ketogenesis from leucine and fatty acids. HL deficiency in humans is one of the many inborn errors of CoA ester metabolism. By gene targeting, we created a strain of HL-deficient mice. Heterozygous HL-deficient mice...
