Common Name

(S)-3-Hydroxybutyric acid Description

(S)-3-Hydroxybutyric acid is a normal human metabolite, that has been found elevated in geriatric patients remitting from depression. (PMID 17048218 ). 3-Hydroxybutyric acid is a ketone body. Like the other ketone bodies (acetoacetate and acetone), levels of 3-Hydroxybutyric acid are raised in ketosis. In humans, 3-Hydroxybutyric acid is synthesized in the liver from acetyl-CoA, and can be used as an energy source by the brain when blood glucose is low. Structure

    Enzymes

    General function:
    Involved in oxidoreductase activity
    Specific function:
    Catalyzes the cofactor-independent reversible oxidation of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) to succinic semialdehyde (SSA) coupled to reduction of 2-ketoglutarate (2-KG) to D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG). D,L-3-hydroxyisobutyrate and L-3-hydroxybutyrate (L-3-OHB) are also substrates for HOT with 10-fold lower activities.

    General function:
    Involved in oxidoreductase activity
    Specific function:
    Dehydrogenase that mediates the formation of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA), a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin and associates with LCN2, thereby playing a key role in iron homeostasis and transport. Also acts as a 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (By similarity).
