Accepted name: |
2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-galactonate 5-dehydrogenase |
Reaction: |
2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-galactonate + NAD+ = 3-deoxy-D-glycero-2,5-hexodiulosonate + NADH + H+ |
Systematic name: |
2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-galactonate:NAD+ 5-oxidoreductase |
Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from agarose-degrading bacteria, is involved in a degradation pathway for 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactopyranose, a major component of the polysaccharides of red macroalgae. |
