- Ribitol-5-phosphate 2-dehydrogenase
In
enzymology , a ribitol-5-phosphate 2-dehydrogenase (EC number|1.1.1.137) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :D-ribitol 5-phosphate + NAD(P)+ ightleftharpoons D-ribulose 5-phosphate + NAD(P)H + H+
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are
D-ribitol 5-phosphate , NAD+, and NADP+, whereas its 4 products areD-ribulose 5-phosphate , NADH, NADPH, and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-ribitol-5-phosphate:NAD(P)+ 2-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called dehydrogenase, ribitol 5-phosphate. This enzyme participates inpentose and glucuronate interconversions .References
