Record overview

MGPD IDMGP003548
Gene ID8424
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namebutyrobetaine (gamma), 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase (gamma-butyrobetaine hydroxylase) 1
Gene Symbol BBOX1
SynonymsBBH; BBOX; G-BBH; gamma-BBH;
Alternate namesgamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase; gamma-butyrobetaine hydroxylase; gamma-butyrobetaine,2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase 1;
Chromosome11
Map Location11p14.2
EC Number1.14.11.1
SummaryThis gene encodes gamma butyrobetaine hydroxylase which catalyzes the formation of L-carnitine from gamma-butyrobetaine, the last step in the L-carnitine biosynthetic pathway. Carnitine is essential for the transport of activated fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane during mitochondrial beta-oxidation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
