HIBCH Antibody (E-11) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody that detects HIBCH protein of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-HIBCH antibody (E-11) is available as the non-conjugated form. HIBCH, also known as 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase, consists of 386 amino acids and belongs to the enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase family. HIBCH is primarily localized in the mitochondria, where HIBCH plays a crucial role in the metabolism of branched-chain fatty acids and certain amino acids. This localization is significant because mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to various metabolic disorders, including those associated with energy production and fatty acid metabolism. HIBCH is highly expressed in the liver and kidney, with lower expression levels in the heart, muscle, and brain. HIBCH hydrolyzes HIBYL-CoA, a saline catabolite, and beta-hydroxypropionyl-CoA, which is an intermediate in the minor pathway of propionate metabolism. The gene encoding HIBCH is located on human chromosome 2q32.2 and exists in two alternatively spliced isoforms. Defects in this gene can lead to HIBCH deficiency (HIBCHD), also known as deficiency of beta-hydroxyisobutyryl CoA deacylase or methacrylic aciduria, which is characterized by the accumulation of methacrylyl-CoA, a highly reactive compound that can interact with free sulfhydryl groups. Phenotypic symptoms of HIBCHD include early deterioration of neurological function, delayed motor skill development, and hypotonia, highlighting the importance of HIBCH in maintaining metabolic balance and neurological health.
