B0272.3 encodes a 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase; by homology, the product of B0272.3 is predicted to function in mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism by catalyzing the NAD+-dependent oxidation of short-chain hydroxyacyl CoAs; large-scale expression studies indicate that B0272.3 is widely expressed.
Predicted to enable 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Expressed widely. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 4. Is an ortholog of human HADH (hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase).
