The two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-2-hydroxystearic acid and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are 2-oxostearic acid, reduced NADH, and a proton. This reaction is important in fatty acid metabolism.[1][2]
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 (R)-2-hydroxystearate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include D-2-hydroxy fatty acid dehydrogenase, and 2-hydroxy fatty acid oxidase.
