- Sorbose reductase
In
enzymology , a sorbose reductase (EC number|1.1.1.289) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :D-glucitol + NADP+ L-sorbose + NADPH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
D-glucitol and NADP+, whereas its 3 products areL-sorbose , 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-glucitol:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called Sou1p.References
