Gene: BTD
Alternate names for this Gene: -
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene functions to recycle protein-bound biotin by cleaving biocytin (biotin-epsilon-lysine), a normal product of carboxylase degradation, resulting in regeneration of free biotin. The encoded protein has also been shown to have biotinyl transferase activity. Mutations in this gene are associated with biotinidase deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3p25.1
Description of this Gene: biotinidase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
