BDH2 PrEST Antigen

Protein function: Dehydrogenase that mediates the formation of 2,5- dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA), a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin and associates with LCN2, thereby playing a key role in iron assimilation and homeostasis. Plays a role in susceptibility to bacterial infection by providing an assimilable source of iron that is exploited by pathogenic bacteria. Also acts as a 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (PubMed:16380372). [The UniProt Consortium] Buffer: PBS and 1M Urea, pH 7.4.
