The three substrates of this enzyme are L-cystine, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and a proton. Its products are L-cysteine and oxidised NAD+.[1][2][3][4]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a sulfur group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-cysteine:NAD+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include cystine reductase (NADH), NADH-dependent cystine reductase, cystine reductase (NADH2), and NADH2:L-cystine oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in cysteine metabolism.
