ribitol NAD D-ribulose NADH H

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ribitol and NAD , whereas its 3 products are D-ribulose, NADH, and H .

This enzyme participates in pentose and glucuronate interconversions.

Nomenclature

edit

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD or NADP as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ribitol:NAD 2-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include adonitol dehydrogenase, ribitol dehydrogenase A (wild type), ribitol dehydrogenase B (mutant enzyme with different properties), and ribitol dehydrogenase D (mutant enzyme with different properties).
