HMG-CoA reductase kinase: measurement of activity by methods that preclude interference by inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase activity or by mevalonate kinase.

Assay of HMG-CoA reductase kinase activity requires HMG-CoA reductase (reductase, E.C. 1.1.1.34) free of associated reductase kinase. Microsomal reductase insensitive to inactivation by Mg-nucleotides alone may be prepared by heating microsomes at 50 degrees C for 15 min. The reductase in these micr...
