摘要: The activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (EC 1.1.1.34), the rate-limiting enzyme hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis, is suppressed in human fibroblasts cultured presence serum. This increases by more than 10-fold after removal serum from medium. rise requires de novo protein synthesis and not accompanied changes activities several other cellular enzymes. factor responsible for suppression present sera at least four mammalian species, it found low-density lipoproteins. Human high-density lipoproteins, very lipoproteins chicken egg yolk, fraction containing no do suppress reductase.
