Serine 3-dehydrogenase

In enzymology, serine 3-dehydrogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme are L-serine and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP⁺). Its products are L-3-oxo-alanine, 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 L-serine:NADP⁺ 3-oxidoreductase.
