Predicted to enable acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; intestine; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial metabolism disease and mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency 2. Orthologous to human HADHB (hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase trifunctional multienzyme complex subunit beta).
WB Description
B0303.3 is orthologous to the human gene 3-KETOACYL-COA THIOLASE BETA-SUBUNIT OF TRIFUNCTIONAL PROTEIN (HADHB; OMIM:143450), which when mutated leads to disease.
