, a carnitine 3-dehydrogenase
is an enzyme
the chemical reaction
- carnitine + NAD+ 3-dehydrocarnitine + NADH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are carnitine and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are 3-dehydrocarnitine, 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 carnitine:NAD+ 3-oxidoreductase.
