In enzymology, a L-arabinitol 2-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme are L-arabinitol and the cofactor, oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are L-ribulose, reduced NADH, and a proton.[1]

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-arabinitol:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase (L-ribulose-forming). Other names in common use include L-arabinitol dehydrogenase (ribulose-forming), and L-arabinitol (ribulose-forming) dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in pentose and glucuronate interconversions.[2]
