Uronate dehydrogenase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, an uronate dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

D-galacturonate + NAD⁺ + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ Template:Chem name + NADH + H⁺

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are D-galacturonate, NAD⁺, and H₂O, whereas its 3 products are Template:Chem name (the lactone of D-galactarate), 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 uronate:NAD⁺ 1-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include uronate: NAD-oxidoreductase, and uronic acid dehydrogenase.
