Octopine dehydrogenase (N2-(D-1-carboxyethyl)-L-arginine:NAD+ oxidoreductase OcDH ODH) is a dehydrogenase enzyme in the opine dehydrogenase family that helps maintain redox balance under anaerobic conditions. It is found largely in aquatic invertebrates especially mollusks sipunculids and coelenterates and plays a role analogous to lactate dehydrogenase (found largely in vertebrates).
