Add article description

D-arabitol-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.301, APDH, D-arabitol 1-phosphate dehydrogenase, D-arabitol 5-phosphate dehydrogenase) is an enzyme with systematic name D-arabitol-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

D-arabitol 1-phosphate + NAD+ D-xylulose 5-phosphate + NADH + H+
Quick Facts Identifiers, EC no. ...

This enzyme participates in arabitol catabolism. The enzyme also converts D-arabitol 5-phosphate to D-ribulose 5-phosphate at a lower rate.
