What (who) is 3'-Hydroxy-THC - definition


3'-Hydroxy-THC         
CHEMICAL COMPOUND
3'-Hydroxy-THC (3'-OH-Δ9-THC) is a minor active metabolite of THC, the main psychoactive component of cannabis. It is one of a number of metabolites of THC hydroxylated on the pentyl side chain, but while the other side-chain hydroxyl isomers are much weaker or inactive, the S enantiomer of 3'-OH-THC is several times more potent than THC itself, and while it is produced in smaller amounts than other active metabolites such as 11-Hydroxy-THC and 8,11-Dihydroxy-THC, it is thought to contribute to the overall pharmacological profile of cannabis.
HMG-CoA reductase         
MAMMALIAN PROTEIN FOUND IN HOMO SAPIENS
HMGR; HMGCoA reductase; HMG CoA reductase; HMGCR; HMGCR (gene); 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase; 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase; 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase
HMG-CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, official symbol HMGCR) is the rate-controlling enzyme (NADH-dependent, ; NADPH-dependent, ) of the mevalonate pathway, the metabolic pathway that produces cholesterol and other isoprenoids. HMGCR catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonic acid, a necessary step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase         
CLASS OF ENZYMES
Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase; HMG-CoA lyase; EC 4.1.3.4; (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA acetoacetate-lyase (acetyl-CoA-forming); HMGCL; 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase (or HMG-CoA lyase) is an enzyme ( that in human is encoded by the HMGCL gene located on chromosome 1. It is a key enzyme in ketogenesis (ketone body formation).
