Occurrence of 3-Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase Activity in the Rat Kidney Brush Border Membrane

Abstract
3-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity was found in both mitochondria and brush border membrane fractions of the rat kidney. Differences in properties provide evidence of a nonmitochondrial 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase in the brush border membranes.
