In enzymology, galactitol-1-phosphate 5-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.251) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

galactitol-1-phosphate
 
 
 
H+
 
H+
 
L-tagatose 6-phosphate
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are galactitol-1-phosphate and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its 3 products are L-tagatose 6-phosphate (shown in its open-chain keto form), reduced NADH, and a proton.[1][2]

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 galactitol-1-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in galactose metabolism. It employs one cofactor, zinc.
