D-xylose reductase

Add article description

D-xylose reductase (EC 1.1.1.307, XylR, XyrA, msXR, dsXR, monospecific xylose reductase, dual specific xylose reductase, NAD(P)H-dependent xylose reductase, xylose reductase) is an enzyme with systematic name xylitol:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

xylitol + NAD(P)+ D-xylose + NAD(P)H + H+
Quick Facts Identifiers, EC no. ...

Xylose reductase catalyses the initial reaction in the xylose utilization pathway, the NAD(P)H dependent reduction of xylose to xylitol.
