D-arabinose 1-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.116) is an enzyme that oxidizes D-arabinose using NAD+ as an electron acceptor. The reaction produces D-arabino-1,4-lactone, NADH, and a proton. It belongs to the oxidoreductases family, enzymes that transfer electrons from a CH-OH group of a donor to NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name is D-arabinose:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase. Other common names include NAD+-pentose-dehydrogenase and arabinose(fucose)dehydrogenase.
