Mannuronate reductase
In enzymology, mannuronate reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are D-mannonic acid and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Its products are D-mannuronic acid, reduced NADH, and a proton. The enzyme can also use the alternative cofactor, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
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-mannonate:NAD+ 6-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include mannonate dehydrogenase, mannonate dehydrogenase, mannonate dehydrogenase, mannuronate reductase, mannonate dehydrogenase , D-mannonate:nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide .
