3-hydroxyacyl-Co A Dehydrogenase

3-hydroxyacyl-Co A Dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.35) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA + NAD+ 3-oxoacyl-CoA + NADH + H+

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are 3-oxoacyl-CoA, 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.
