gene
In biology, the word gene has two meanings. The Mendelian gene is a basic unit of heredity. The molecular gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produce a functional RNA. There are two types of molecular genes: protei ...

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 ...
(EC 1.1.99.24), which is responsible for the oxidation of
4-hydroxybutyrate in mammalian tissues.
