Introduction

3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase has a classification number of EC 1.1.1.30. The first digit means that this enzyme is an oxidoreductase which means the purpose is to catalyze oxidation and reduction reaction pathways. The following two 1s indicate the subclass and sub-sub of the enzyme. In this case, 1.1.1 means this enzyme is an oxidoreductase that acts on the CH-OH group of the donor molecule using NAD(+) or NADP(+) as the acceptor.[2] The 4th number, or 30 in this case, is the serial number of the enzyme to define it within its sub-subclass.
