Spatial distribution of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase messenger RNA in the ocular lens: relationship to cholesterologenesis.

This study probes the regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis in the ocular lens by estimating the concentration and distribution of the messenger RNA for the rate-controlling enzyme for sterol synthesis, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGR). Because the lens is dependent on biosynt...
