| EC | 1.1.1.313 | ||
| Accepted name: | sulfoacetaldehyde reductase (NADPH) | ||
| Reaction: | isethionate + NADP+ = 2-sulfoacetaldehyde + NADPH + H+ | ||
| Glossary: | isethionate = 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate 2-sulfoacetaldehyde = 2-oxoethanesulfonate |
||
| Other name(s): | isfD (gene name) | ||
| Systematic name: | isethionate:NADP+ oxidoreductase | ||
| Comments: | Catalyses the reaction only in the opposite direction. Involved in taurine degradation. The bacterium Chromohalobacter salexigens strain DSM 3043 possesses two enzymes that catalyse this reaction, a constitutive enzyme (encoded by isfD2) and an inducible enzyme (encoded by isfD). The latter is induced by taurine, and is responsible for most of the activity observed in taurine-grown cells. cf. EC 1.1.1.433, sulfoacetaldehyde reductase (NADH). | ||
