In enzymology, D-xylose 1-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.175) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

H+
D-xylose 1-dehydrogenase
 
H+
 
+ NADH
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are D-xylose, shown in its open-chain aldehydo form, and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its 3 products are D-xylono-1,5-lactone, reduced NADH, and a proton. [1] [2]

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-xylose:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include NAD+-D-xylose dehydrogenase, D-xylose dehydrogenase, and (NAD+)-linked D-xylose dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in pentose and glucuronate interconversions.
