Application
Suitable for the determination of acetoacetate and D(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate by the method of Williamson, D. H., and Mellanby, J., Methods of Enzymatic Analysis, Bergmeyer, H., ed., 2nd edition, 4, 1836 (1974).
Biochem/physiol Actions
In mammalian systems, β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase is localized on the inner mitochondrial membrane and requires phosphatidyl choline for activity. In contrast, the enzyme from Rhodopseudomonas is a soluble cytosolic enzyme that does not require a phospholipid allosteric activator. The enzyme is required for the utilization of ketone bodies as a source of metabolic energy. It catalyzes the oxidation of 3-hydroxybutyrate to acetoacetate, the first step in the conversion of ketone bodies to citric acid, which is then further metabolized via the tricarboxylic acid cycle (Krebs cycle).
Unit Definition
One unit will oxidize 1.0 μmole of D-β-hydroxybutyrate to acetoacetate per min at pH 7.8 at 37 °C.

Ketone bodies acetoacetate and 3-hydroxy-n-butyric acid are metabolites derived from fatty acids and ketogenic amino acids such as leucine. They are mainly produced in the liver via reactions catalyzed by the ketogenic enzymes mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutary-coenzyme A synthase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutary-coenzyme A
