Hydroxymalonate dehydrogenase explained

hydroxymalonate dehydrogenase
Ec Number:1.1.1.167
Cas Number:58693-60-0
Go Code:0047993

In enzymology, a hydroxymalonate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

hydroxymalonate + NAD+

\rightleftharpoons

oxomalonate + NADH + H+

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are hydroxymalonate and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are oxomalonate, 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 hydroxymalonate:NAD+ oxidoreductase.
