Entrez gene ID622
Official gene symbolBDH1
Full name3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, type 1
Aliases,BDH,MGC2723,MGC4347,MGC9788,SDR9C1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase gene family. The encoded protein forms a homotetrameric lipid-requiring enzyme of the mitochondrial membrane and has a specific requirement for phosphatidylcholine for optimal enzymatic activity. The encoded protein catalyzes the interconversion of acetoacetate and (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate, the two major ketone bodies produced during fatty acid catabolism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
