Description:
Key metabolite of the ketolytic pathway generating acetyl-CoA. Stereoselective product of D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydreogenase. Clinically and physiologically significant stereoisomer. Energy carrier from adipocytes to peripheral tissues during fasting or exercise. Endogenous inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs) 1, 3 and 4.
