In enzymology, ketol-acid reductoisomerase (EC 1.1.1.86) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(R)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid
 
 
 
H+
 
H+
 
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Its products are acetolactic acid, NADPH, 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 (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (isomerizing). Other names in common use include dihydroxyisovalerate dehydrogenase (isomerizing), acetohydroxy acid isomeroreductase, ketol acid reductoisomerase, alpha-keto-beta-hydroxylacyl reductoisomerase, 2-hydroxy-3-keto acid reductoisomerase, acetohydroxy acid reductoisomerase, acetolactate reductoisomerase, dihydroxyisovalerate (isomerizing) dehydrogenase, isomeroreductase, and reductoisomerase. This enzyme participates in valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis and pantothenate and coa biosynthesis.
