Carnitine dehydrogenase (cdhCAB) BBa_K1205000
• Derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
• This gene codes for L-Carnitine Dehydrogenase, a protein that breaks down L-carnitine into 3-Dehydrocarnitine. This enzyme directs the degradation down a pathway that prevents the formation of trimethylamine. As previously mentioned trimethylamine has been known to cause cardiovascular disease. This new pathway ultimately leads to glycine which is a nature substance in the body. This enzyme is the centerpiece of our experiment.
Characterization:
• This part was characterized with an enzymatic assay.
