Facts about Estradiol 17-beta-dehydrogenase 8.
The heterotetramer with CBR4 has NADH-dependent 3-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein reductase activity, and thus plays a role in mitochondrial fatty acid biosynthesis (PubMed:19571038, PubMed:25203508). Within the heterotetramer, HSD17B8 binds NADH; CBR4 binds NADPD (PubMed:25203508).
