ENZYME entry: EC 1.1.1.431

Accepted Name
D-xylose reductase (NADPH)
Reaction catalysed
NADP(+) + xylitol <=> D-xylose + H(+) + NADPH
Comment(s)
  • Xylose reductases catalyze the reduction of xylose to xylitol, the initial reaction in the fungal D-xylose degradation pathway.
  • Most of the enzymes exhibit a strict requirement for NADPH (e.g. the enzymes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma reesei, Candida tropicalis, Saitozyma flava, and Candida intermedia).
  • Some D-xylose reductases have dual cofactor specificity, though they still prefer NADPH to NADH (cf. EC 1.1.1.307).
  • Very rarely the enzyme prefers NADH (cf. EC 1.1.1.430).
