In enzymology, a 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.31) also known as β-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase or 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial (HIBADH) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HIBADH gene.
3-Hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase catalyzes the chemical reaction:
The two substrates of this enzyme are 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are methylmalonic acid semialdehyde, reduced NADH, and a proton.
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.
