3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA, also known as hydroxymethylglutaroyl coenzyme A or HMG-CoA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as (s)-3-hydroxy-3-alkylglutaryl coas. These are 3-hydroxy-3-alkylglutaryl-CoAs where the 3-hydroxy-3-alkylglutaryl component has (S)-configuration. Thus, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
