(R)-4-hydroxyphenyllactate dehydrogenase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme (R)-4-hydroxyphenyllactate dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes a chemical reaction

(R)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)lactate + NAD(P)+ $\rightleftharpoons$ 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate + NAD(P)H + HTemplate:Sup

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are (R)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)lactate, [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide|NADTemplate:Sup]], and [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate|NADPTemplate:Sup]], whereas its 4 products are 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate, NADH, NADPH, and [[hydrogen ion|HTemplate:Sup]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NADTemplate:Sup or NADPTemplate:Sup as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)lactate:NAD(P)Template:Sup 2-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include (R)-aromatic lactate dehydrogenase, and D-hydrogenase, D-aryllactate. This enzyme participates in tyrosine and phenylalanine catabolism.
