L-arabinose 1-dehydrogenase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a L-arabinose 1-dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-arabinose + NAD⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ L-arabinono-1,4-lactone + NADH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-arabinose and NAD⁺, whereas its 3 products are L-arabinono-1,4-lactone, 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 L-arabinose:NAD⁺ 1-oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in ascorbate and aldarate metabolism.
