ENZYME

ENZYME entry: EC 1.1.1.307

Accepted Name
D-xylose reductase [NAD(P)H]
Alternative Name(s)
D-xylose reductase
xylose reductase
Reaction catalysed
  • NAD(+) + xylitol <=> D-xylose + H(+) + NADH
  • 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 (cf. EC 1.1.1.431).
  • However, a few D-xylose reductases, such as those from Neurospora crassa, Yamadazyma tenuis, Scheffersomyces stipitis, and the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum, have dual cofactor specificity, though they still prefer NADPH to NADH.
  • Very rarely the enzyme prefers NADH (cf. EC 1.1.1.430).
