Gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase
text:
Gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BBOX1 gene. Gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase catalyses the formation of L-carnitine from gamma-butyrobetaine, the last step in the L-carnitine biosynthesis pathway. Carnitine is essential for the transport of activated fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane during mitochondrial beta oxidation. In humans, gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase can be found in the kidney (high), liver (moderate), and brain. BBOX1 has rece
