D-xylose 1-dehydrogenase (NADP+)

In enzymology, D-xylose 1-dehydrogenase (NADP⁺) () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme are D-xylose and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP⁺). Its products are D-xylono-1,5-lactone, reduced NADPH, and a proton.

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 D-xylose:NADP⁺ 1-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include D-xylose (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), dehydrogenase, D-xylose-NADP⁺ dehydrogenase, D-xylose:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase, and D-xylose 1-dehydrogenase (NADP⁺).
