D-arabino-1,4-lactone
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are D-arabinose and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are D-arabino-1,4-lactone, 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 D-arabinose:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include NAD+-pentose-dehydrogenase, and arabinose(fucose)dehydrogenase.
