Anti-BDH1 Antibody

This polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com specifically targets human BDH1 (3-Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase 1), a mitochondrial enzyme central to ketone body interconversion. Produced in rabbit hosts and supplied as an unconjugated IgG preparation in 50 µl volumes, the reagent is validated for western blot detection of the endogenous BDH1 protein.

BDH1 catalyzes the NAD+/NADH-dependent reversible conversion between acetoacetate and D-β-hydroxybutyrate, supporting investigations of ketogenesis, ketolysis, hepatic lipid metabolism, and the energetic adaptations observed during fasting, ketogenic diet intervention, type 2 diabetes, and cardiac or neuronal substrate utilization. Researchers studying mitochondrial bioenergetics, hepatocyte function, or the pathophysiology of diabetic ketoacidosis can use the antibody to probe BDH1 levels across human cell lysates and relevant tissue extracts.
