1. Gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenaseGamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase (also known as BBOX or GBBH) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BBOX1 gene. Gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase catalyzes the formation of L-carnitine from gamma-butyrobetaine, the last step in the L-Carnitine Biosynthesis pathway. Carnitine is essential for the transport of activated fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane during mitochondrial beta-oxidation.
