HMGCR Antibody (PA5-97831) in IHC (P)
Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) analysis of HMGCR in paraffin-embedded human pancreatic cancer. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30 min at RT, then the primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The sample was incubated with a HMGCR polyclonal antibody (Product # PA5-97831... View More

Target Information
3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Reductase (HMGCR) is a key enzyme in the mevalonate pathway, which is critical for the biosynthesis of cholesterol and other isoprenoids. HMGCR catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a rate-limiting step in the production of cholesterol. Due to its central role in cholesterol synthesis, HMGCR is a primary target for statin drugs, which are used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
