L-rhamnose 1-dehydrogenase

In enzymology, L-rhamnose 1-dehydrogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme are L-rhamnofuranose and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺). Its products are L-rhamnono-1,4-lactone, reduced NADH, 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 L-rhamnofuranose:NAD⁺ 1-oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in fructose and mannose metabolism.
