General description
BHB-Phe is a β-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) secondary metabolite present in human and mouse plasma. It is a ketosis-inducible structural and functional congener of lactate-phenylalanine.
Application
BHB-Phe may be used for examining its effects on metabolic pathways during states of ketosis and studying its interactions with the carnosine dipeptidase 2 (CNDP2) enzyme.
Biochem/physiol Actions
BHB-Phe exhibits anti-obesity activities hence reducing food intake and body weight in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. Apparently BHB-Phe activates hypothalamic and brainstem neurons and suppresses feeding. BHB-Phe issynthesized in the body by catalytic condensation of BHB and Phenylalanine by carnosine dipeptidase 2 (CNDP2).

β-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is an abundant ketone body. To date, all known pathways of BHB metabolism involve the interconversion of BHB and primary energy intermediates. Here, we identify a previously undescribed BHB secondary metabolic pathway via CNDP2-dependent enzymatic conjugation of BHB
