Function
- valine catabolism
- hydrolyzes 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA, isobutyryl-CoA & 3-hydroxypropanoyl-CoA
3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoyl-CoA + H2O <--> CoA + 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate
Structure
belongs to the enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase family
Compartment
Alternative splicing
named isoforms=2
Expression
- highly expressed in liver & kidney
- also detected in heart, muscle & brain (at protein level)
- not detected in lung
Pathology
- defects in hibch are the cause of methacrylic aciduria
