Description
Description: BDH1 (3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, type 1), it is a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase gene family. This protien forms a homotetrameric lipid-requiring enzyme of the mitochondrial membrane and has a specific requirement for phosphatidylcholine for optimal enzymatic activity. It catalyzes the interconversion of acetoacetate and (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate, the two major ketone bodies produced during fatty acid catabolism.
Function: (R)-3-hydroxybutanoate + NAD+ = acetoacetate + NADH.
Subunit Structure: Homotetramer.
Similarity: Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family
