Statin inhibition of cholesterol production (WP430)
Homo sapiens
Statins inhibit endogenous cholesterol production by competitive inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR), the enzyme that catalyzes conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, an early rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. This pathway delineates genes involved in statin pharmacogenomics, including genes involved in mediating the effects of statins on plasma lipoprotein metabolism. Sources: PharmGKB and Wikipedia Proteins on this pathway have targeted assays available via the CPTAC Assay Portal.
