Anti-BDH1 Antibody

BDH1 (3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 1) is a mitochondrial enzyme central to ketone body interconversion, linking acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate pools and influencing the NAD+/NADH balance in liver and other metabolically active tissues. This rabbit polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com detects the human BDH1 protein, making it useful for researchers investigating hepatic ketogenesis, fasting physiology, and the role of ketone metabolism in cancer and metabolic disease.

Produced in rabbit and supplied as 100 µl of unconjugated IgG, the reagent is validated for western blot applications on human samples. The IgG isotype and polyclonal nature allow recognition of multiple epitopes on BDH1, supporting reliable detection in lysates and recombinant preparations. Because it is unconjugated, the antibody can be paired with HRP- or fluorophore-conjugated secondary reagents chosen to match each project's detection chemistry.

For best performance, aliquot the antibody upon arrival to limit freeze-thaw cycles, and store refrigerated for short-term use or frozen for longer projects. This single-use vial format facilitates clean, reproducible probing in western blot workflows.
