CHDH
Description
The CHDH (choline dehydrogenase) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 3.
CHDH (Choline Dehydrogenase) is a gene that provides instructions for making an enzyme involved in the metabolism of choline, a nutrient found in many foods. This enzyme, called choline dehydrogenase, plays a role in the production of betaine, which is important for several functions in the body, including the synthesis of methionine, a building block for proteins, and the regulation of osmotic pressure. Mutations in the CHDH gene can cause a deficiency of choline dehydrogenase, leading to a build-up of choline in the body and potentially affecting liver function.
CHDH is also known as -.
