L-rhamnose 1-dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a L-rhamnose 1-dehydrogenase (EC number|1.1.1.173) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:L-rhamnofuranose + NAD⁺ $ightleftharpoons$ L-rhamno-1,4-lactone + NADH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-rhamnofuranose and NAD⁺, whereas its 3 products are L-rhamno-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-rhamnofuranose:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in fructose and mannose metabolism.
