Protein
D-xylose 1-dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 1
Organism
Haloferax volcanii (strain ATCC 29605 / DSM 3757 / JCM 8879 / NBRC 14742 / NCIMB 2012 / VKM B-1768 / DS2)
Function
NADP-dependent D-xylose dehydrogenase involved in the degradation of D-xylose, a major component of hemicelluloses such as xylan. Catalyzes the initial reaction in the xylose utilization pathway by oxydizing D-xylose into D-xylonolactone.
Similarity
Belongs to the Gfo/Idh/MocA family.
