The HSD17B4 gene encodes an enzyme involved in peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation.
It was first identified as a 17-beta-estradiol dehydrogenase .
Peroxisomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids is catalyzed by 3 enzymes: acyl-CoA oxidase; the 'D-bifunctional enzyme,' with enoyl-CoA-hydratase and D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase.
The D- and L-bifunctional proteins have different substrate specificities.
The D-bifunctional protein catalyzes the formation of 3-ketoacyl-CoA intermediates from both straight-chain and 2-methyl-branched-chain fatty acids and also acts in shortening cholesterol for bile acid formation.
In contrast, the L-specific bifunctional protein does not have the latter 2 activities.
