Purification and characterization of a protein inhibitor from rat liver that inhibits type 1 protein phosphatase when 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase is the substrate.

A protein inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase phosphatase activity from rat liver was purified to homogeneity. The protein was purified 4,000-fold with an overall yield of 4%. The purified protein had a molecular mass of 31 kDa. This spontaneously active protein is thermostable and acid-resistant. The pr...
