Summary: Predicted to enable 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in steroid metabolic process. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in adult head; adult heart; larval muscle system; larval somatic muscle cell; and visceral mesoderm derivative. Used to study chromosome 3q29 microdeletion syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 13. Orthologous to several human genes including BDH1 (3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 1); HSD17B6 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 6); and SDR9C7 (short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 9C member 7).
