Bdh2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-CH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Involved in siderophore biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cranium; ear; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human BDH2 (3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Bdh2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
