In enzymology, a L-ascorbate—cytochrome-b5 reductase (EC 1.10.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- L-ascorbate + ferricytochrome b5 [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] monodehydroascorbate + ferrocytochrome b5 + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-ascorbate and ferricytochrome b5, whereas its 3 products are monodehydroascorbate, ferrocytochrome b5, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on diphenols and related substances as donor with a cytochrome as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-ascorbate:ferricytochrome-b5 oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called ascorbate-cytochrome b5 reductase.
