Anti-BDH antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the BDH antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the BDH1 gene, which encodes 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 1. This protein is known to function in metabolic processes, among other biological roles. The human version of BDH has a canonical amino acid length of 343 residues and a protein mass of 38.2 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the mitochondria of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include SDR9C1 and D-beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial. Western Blot is the most common application for the BDH antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
