In enzymology, D-2-hydroxy-acid dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are -lactic acid and an electron acceptor. Its products are pyruvic acid and the corresponding reduced acceptor.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is -2-hydroxy-acid:acceptor 2-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include D-2-hydroxy acid dehydrogenase, and -2-hydroxy-acid: 2-oxidoreductase. It has 2 cofactors: FAD, and zinc.
