In enzymology, a 3/info/l" target="_blank">L-3/info/threonine" target="_blank">threonine 3-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.103) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
3/info/l" target="_blank">L-3/info/threonine" target="_blank">threonine + NAD+
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
3/info/l" target="_blank">L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate + NADH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3/info/l" target="_blank">L-3/info/threonine" target="_blank">threonine and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are 3/info/l" target="_blank">L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate, NADH, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3/info/l" target="_blank">L-3/info/threonine" target="_blank">threonine:NAD+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 3/info/l" target="_blank">L-3/info/threonine" target="_blank">threonine dehydrogenase, 3/info/threonine" target="_blank">threonine 3-dehydrogenase, and 3/info/threonine" target="_blank">threonine dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and 3/info/threonine" target="_blank">threonine metabolism.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2D8A, 2DFV, and 2DQ4.
