Description

Introduction to 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-Coenzyme A Reductase (HMGR)

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) is a crucial enzyme in the mevalonate pathway, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids, including sterols and terpenoids. In plants, HMGR plays a pivotal role in regulating the production of phytosterols and other secondary metabolites essential for plant growth and defense. The rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis, contains multiple HMGR genes, including HMGR2, which is part of a small gene family involved in isoprenoid biosynthesis.

Expression and Regulation of HMGR Genes in Hevea brasiliensis

In Hevea brasiliensis, the HMGR gene family includes five members (HMGR1 to HMGR5). The expression of these genes varies across different tissues and conditions. For instance, HMGR4 and HMGR5 are highly expressed in mature leaves and xylem . While HMGR1 has been associated with high latex yield and is upregulated in high-yielding clones , specific studies on HMGR2's expression patterns and regulatory mechanisms are scarce.

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify your format preference during order placement for customized preparation.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchasing method and location. Please contact your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.
Note: Our proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs. Dry ice shipping requires advance notification and incurs additional charges.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to collect the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile, deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. We recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50%, but this can be adjusted to customer needs.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on various factors including storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and protein stability. Generally, liquid formulations have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized formulations have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Upon receipt, store at -20°C/-80°C. Aliquoting is recommended for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
