BDH1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 318 amino acids (47-343) and having a molecular mass of 35.3kDa.BDH1 is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
BDH1 belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase gene family. BDH1 forms a homotetrameric lipid-requiring enzyme of the mitochondrial membrane and has a specific necessity for phosphatidylcholine for optimal enzymatic activity. BDH1 catalyzes the interconversion of acetoacetate and (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate, the 2 main ketone bodies formed during fatty acid catabolism.
