Description

Biochem/physiol Actions

Gemcabene is an orally available lipid-regulating compound that induces both a cholesterol and triglyceride reduction by a mechanism of action not linked to agonist or antagonist activity on the PPAR-α receptors. Gemcabene down-regulates apoC-III expression. Gemcabene is primarily metabolized (glucuronidation) by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase2B7 (UGT2B7). Thus, is often used as a UGT2B7 substrate.
