(S)-carnitine 3-dehydrogenase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a (S)-carnitine 3-dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(S)-carnitine + NADTemplate:Sup $\rightleftharpoons$ 3-dehydrocarnitine + NADH + HTemplate:Sup

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (S)-carnitine and [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide|NADTemplate:Sup]], whereas its 3 products are 3-dehydrocarnitine, NADH, 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 (S)-carnitine:NADTemplate:Sup oxidoreductase.
