| Accepted name: |
L-iditol 2-dehydrogenase |
| Reaction: |
L-iditol + NAD+ = L-sorbose + NADH + H+ |
| Other name(s): |
polyol dehydrogenase; sorbitol dehydrogenase; L-iditol:NAD+ 5-oxidoreductase; L-iditol (sorbitol) dehydrogenase; glucitol dehydrogenase; L-iditol:NAD+ oxidoreductase; NAD+-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase; NAD+-sorbitol dehydrogenase |
| Systematic name: |
L-iditol:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
This enzyme is widely distributed and has been described in archaea, bacteria, yeast, plants and animals. It acts on a number of sugar alcohols, including (but not limited to) L-iditol, D-glucitol, D-xylitol, and D-galactitol. Enzymes from different organisms or tissues display different substrate specificity. The enzyme is specific to NAD+ and can not use NADP+. |
