Difference between HMG-CoA reductase and Low-density lipoprotein

HMG-CoA reductase vs. Low-density lipoprotein

HMG-CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, officially abbreviated HMGCR) is the rate-controlling enzyme (NADH-dependent,; NADPH-dependent) of the mevalonate pathway, the metabolic pathway that produces cholesterol and other isoprenoids. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is one of the five major groups of lipoprotein which transport all fat molecules around the body in the extracellular water.

Similarities between HMG-CoA reductase and Low-density lipoprotein

HMG-CoA reductase and Low-density lipoprotein have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease, Cholesterol, Ezetimibe, Glucagon, Insulin, Low-density lipoprotein, Mevalonate pathway, Statin.

Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque.

Insulin

Insulin (from Latin insula, island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.

Mevalonate pathway

The mevalonate pathway, also known as the isoprenoid pathway or HMG-CoA reductase pathway is an essential metabolic pathway present in eukaryotes, archaea, and some bacteria.

The list above answers the following questions

HMG-CoA reductase and Low-density lipoprotein Comparison

HMG-CoA reductase has 48 relations, while Low-density lipoprotein has 107. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 5.81% = 9 / (48 + 107).
