Carnitine 3-dehydrogenase
Class of enzymes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, carnitine 3-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.108) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are carnitine and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are 3-dehydrocarnitine, reduced NADH, and a proton.[1][2][3]
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 carnitine:NAD+ 3-oxidoreductase.
