Structural highlights

Disease

[DHB4_HUMAN] Defects in HSD17B4 are a cause of D-bifunctional protein deficiency (DBPD) [MIM:261515]. DBPD is a disorder of peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation.^{[1] [2] [3]} Defects in HSD17B4 are the cause of Perrault syndrome (PRLTS1) [MIM:233400]. A sex-influenced disorder characterized by sensorineural deafness in both males and females and ovarian dysgenesis in females. Some patients also have neurologic manifestations, including mild mental retardation and cerebellar and peripheral nervous system involvement.^[4]

Function

[DHB4_HUMAN] Bifunctional enzyme acting on the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway for fatty acids. Catalyzes the formation of 3-ketoacyl-CoA intermediates from both straight-chain and 2-methyl-branched-chain fatty acids.^{[5] [6]}
