In enzymology, a 3-hydroxycyclohexanone dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.26) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 3-hydroxycyclohexanone + acceptor cyclohexane-1,3-dione + reduced acceptor
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-hydroxycyclohexanone and acceptor, whereas its two products are cyclohexane-1,3-dione and reduced acceptor.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-hydroxycyclohexanone:acceptor 1-oxidoreductase.
