BDH1, Human

(D-beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial, BDH, 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, BDH1, SDR9C1.)

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.

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.

Purity: Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Source: E.coli.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered colorless solution.

Formulation: The BDH1 solution (0.25mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0), 30% glycerol, 0.2M NaCl, 2mM DTT and 0.1mM PMSF.
