In vivo regulation of human leukocyte 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase: increased enzyme protein concentration and catalytic efficiency in human leukemia and lymphoma.

The activity of microsomal HMG-CoA reductase in freshly isolated leukocytes from patients with a variety of hematologic malignancies was significantly increased (up to 20-fold) when compared to enzyme activity in leukocytes from normal subjects (average 10.3 +/- 0.8 pmol/min per mg). Increased enzym...
