Hmgcll1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase activity and metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in L-leucine catabolic process and ketone body biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; extraembryonic component; limb; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human HMGCLL1 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase like 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Hmgcll1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • TIM-like beta/alpha barrel domains
