Galactose 1-dehydrogenase (NADP+)
In enzymology, a galactose 1-dehydrogenase (NADP) () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are D-galactose and NADP, whereas its 3 products are D-galactonolactone, NADPH, and H. 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-galactose:NADP 1-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include D-galactose dehydrogenase (NADP), and galactose 1-dehydrogenase (NADP). This enzyme participates in galactose metabolism. Galactose
