Native Pseudomonas sp. D-3-hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.30) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: (R) -3-hydroxybutanoate + NAD+ ↔ acetoacetate + NADH + H+. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (R) -3-hydroxybutanoate and NAD+, whereas its three products are acetoacetate, NADH, and H+. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, to be specific, those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. This enzyme participates in synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies and butanoate metabolism.
