Levoglucosan is formed from the pyrolysis of carbohydrates such as starch and cellulose and is an important molecular marker for pollution from biomass burning. This enzyme is present only in bacteria, and has been characterized from Arthrobacter sp. I-552 and Pseudarthrobacter phenanthrenivorans. cf. EC 2.7.1.232, levoglucosan kinase.

in the metabolic pathway from levoglucosan to glucose, LgdA (LGDH) catalyzes 3-dehydrogenation of levoglucosan to produce 3-keto-levoglucosan, which undergoes beta-elimination of 3-keto-levoglucosan by LgdB1, followed by hydration to produce 3-keto-D-glucose by LgdB2. Next, LgdC reduces 3-keto-D-glucose to glucose

structures of LgdH in the apo and complex forms with NADH, NADH plus levoglucosan, and NADH plus L-sorbose. LgdH has a typical fold of Gfo/Idh/MocA family proteins. The active site recognizes the levoglucosan molecule with six hydrogen bonds, and the C3 atom of levoglucosan is closely located to the C4 atom of NADH nicotinamide
