| ORF Classification | Verified |
| Description | HMG-CoA reductase; converts HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a rate-limiting step in sterol biosynthesis; one of two isozymes; overproduction induces assembly of peripheral ER membrane arrays and short nuclear-associated membrane stacks; forms foci at the nuclear periphery upon DNA replication stress; HMG2 has a paralog, HMG1, that arose from the whole genome duplication (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) |
| Name Description | 3-Hydroxy-3-MethylGlutaryl-coenzyme a reductase 2 |
