In enzymology a L-xylose 1-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.113) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-xylose + NADP+ L-xylono-14-lactone + NADPH + H+Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-xylose and NADP+ whereas its 3 products are L-xylono-14-lactone NADPH 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 L-xylose:NADP+ 1-oxidoreductase.
