Ec Number:1.1.1.31
Cas Number:9028-39-1
Go Code:0008442

In enzymology, a 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase also known as β-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase or 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial (HIBADH) is an enzyme[1] that in humans is encoded by the HIBADH gene.[2]

3-Hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase catalyzes the chemical reaction:

3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate + NAD+

\rightleftharpoons

2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate + NADH + H+

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate, NADH, and H+.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation.

Function

3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase is a tetrameric mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the NAD+-dependent, reversible oxidation of 3-hydroxyisobutyrate, an intermediate of valine catabolism, to methylmalonate semialdehyde.[2]

Structural studies

As of late 2007, five structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes,,,, and .
