Function

The ADHFE1 gene encodes
hydroxyacid-oxoacid transhydrogenase In enzymology, a hydroxyacid-oxoacid transhydrogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :(S)-3-hydroxybutanoate + 2-oxoglutarate \rightleftharpoons acetoacetate + (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme ...
