In enzymology, a N-acetylhexosamine 1-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.240) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + NAD+ N-acetyl-D-glucosaminate + NADH + H+

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are N-acetyl-D-glucosaminate, NADH, and H+.

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 N-acetyl-D-hexosamine:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include N-acetylhexosamine dehydrogenase, and N-acetyl-D-hexosamine dehydrogenase.

The citric acid cycle —also known as the Krebs cycle, Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle or the TCA cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle)—is a series of chemical reactions to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The Krebs cycle is used by organisms that respire (as opposed to organisms that ferment) to generate energy, either by anaerobic respiration or aerobic respiration. In addition, the cycle provides precursors of certain amino acids, as well as the reducing agent NADH, that are used in numerous other reactions. Its central importance to many biochemical pathways suggests that it was one of the earliest components of metabolism. Even though it is branded as a 'cycle', it is not necessary for metabolites to follow only one specific route; at least three alternative segments of the citric acid cycle have been recognized.
