Abstract

This entry represents a group of L-galactose dehydrogenase and related proteins, including At-GalDH (At4g33670) from Arabidopsis. At-GalDH catalyses the oxidation of L-galactose to L-galactono-1,4-lactone in the presence of NAD. It uses NAD as a hydrogen acceptor much more efficiently than NADP [ 1 ].
