L-galactose dehydrogenase (L-galDH) and similar proteins
L-galDH (EC 1.1.1.316), also called L-galactose 1-dehydrogenase, catalyzes 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(+).
Comment:Based on the structure evidence that Rattus norvegicus voltage-dependent K+ channel beta subunit (3EAU) in complex with cortisone and cofactor NADPH.
