In enzymology, a dihydroxy-acid dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoate $\rightleftharpoons$ 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + H₂O

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoate, and two products, 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoate hydro-lyase (3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate-forming). Other names in common use include acetohydroxyacid dehydratase, alpha,beta-dihydroxyacid dehydratase, 2,3-dihydroxyisovalerate dehydratase, alpha,beta-dihydroxyisovalerate dehydratase, dihydroxy acid dehydrase, DHAD, and 2,3-dihydroxy-acid hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis and pantothenate and coa biosynthesis.
