Gene: BDH1
Alternate names for this Gene: BDH|SDR9C1
Gene Summary: This 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3q29
Description of this Gene: 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 1
