3-hydroxypimeloyl-CoA dehydrogenase

In enzymology, 3-hydroxypimeloyl-CoA dehydrogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme are 3-hydroxypimeloyl-CoA and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺). Its products are 3-oxopimeloyl-CoA, reduced NADH, and a proton.

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-hydroxypimeloyl-CoA:NAD⁺ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via coa ligation.
