H+
 
L-Xylono-1,4-lactone
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are L-xylose and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Its products are L-xylono-1,4-lactone, reduced NADPH, and a proton.

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. Other names in common use include L-xylose dehydrogenase, and NADPH-xylose reductase.
