EC 1.1.1.430 Details
EC number
1.1.1.430
Accepted name
D-xylose reductase (NADH)
Reaction
xylitol + NAD+ = D-xylose + NADH + H+
Other name(s)
XYL1 (gene name) (ambiguous)
Systematic name
xylitol:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Comment
Xylose reductases catalyse 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, D-xylose reductase (NADPH)). Some D-xylose reductases have dual coenzyme specificity, though they still prefer NADPH to NADH (cf. EC 1.1.1.307, D-xylose reductase [NAD(P)H]). The enzyme from Candida parapsilosis is a rare example of a xylose reductase that significantly prefers NADH, with Km and Vmax values for NADH being 10-fold lower and 10-fold higher, respectively, than for NADPH.
