Predicted to enable hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase activity. Predicted to be involved in ketone body biosynthetic process; leucine catabolic process; and lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human HMGCLL1 (3-hydroxymethyl-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase like 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
