HIBCH Polyclonal Antibody, AbBy Fluor™ 488 Conjugated

HIBCH is a 386 amino acid protein belonging to the enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase family. Localizing to the mitochondria, HIBCH is highly expressed in liver and kidney, with lower levels found in heart, muscle and brain. HIBCH hydrolyzes HIBYL-CoA, a saline catabolite, and _-hydroxypropionyl-CoA, an intermediate in the minor pathway involved in the metabolism of proprionate. Existing as two alternatively spliced isoforms, the gene encoding HIBCH maps to human chromosome 2q32.2. Defects to this gene result in HIBCH deficiency (HIBCHD), known alternatively as deficiency of _-hydroxyisobutyryl CoA deacylase or methacrylic aciduria. HIBCHD is characterized by the accumulation of methacrylyl-CoA, a highly reactive compound that undergoes addition reactions with free sulfhydryl groups. Phenotypic symptoms include early deterioration of neurological function, delayed motor skill development and hypotonia.
