Disease relevance of Hadh

  • Rae-38, a cDNA clone isolated from mouse embryonal carcinoma F9 cells, was sequenced, and the deduced RAE-38 protein showed about 86% homology to pig 3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (HCDH; EC 1.1.1.35) [1].
 

High impact information on Hadh

  • Catalytic activities of these enzymes were present at comparable levels in wild-type (OCTN2(+/+)) and homozygous (OCTN2(-/-)) mouse placentas, with the exception of SCHAD, for which activity was significantly higher in OCTN2(-/-) placentas than in OCTN2(+/+) placentas [2].
  • These data show that placental OCTN2 is obligatory for accumulation of carnitine in placenta and fetus, that fatty acid beta-oxidation enzymes are expressed in placenta, and that reduced carnitine levels up-regulate the expression of SCHAD in placenta [2].
  • This clone can be used to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of HCDH gene expression in mammals [1].
