Description
Description: BDH2 produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 265 amino acids (1-245a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 28.8kDa.BDH2 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: BDH2 is a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. BDH2 protein has a significant part in the peripheral utilization of 3-hydroxybutyrate. BDH2 can convert high levels of circulating 3-hydroxybutyrate into acetoacetate due to cytoplasmic localization in high ratio of oxidized NAD+, the NAD+ dependence and the kinetic parameters
