Reaction: ATP + dephospho-{[hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (NADPH)] kinase} = ADP + {[hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (NADPH)] kinase}
Other name(s): AMP-activated kinase; AMP-activated protein kinase kinase; hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase kinase kinase; hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase kinase kinase (phosphorylating); reductase kinase; reductase kinase kinase; STK30
Systematic name: ATP:dephospho-{[hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (NADPH)] kinase} phosphotransferase
Comments: The enzyme is activated by AMP and is specific for its substrate. Phosphorylates and activates EC 2.7.11.31, [hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (NADPH)] kinase, that has been inactivated by EC 3.1.3.16, protein-serine/threonine phosphatase.
