Protein
NAD(P)H-dependent pentose reductase
Organism
Magnaporthe oryzae (strain 70-15 / ATCC MYA-4617 / FGSC 8958)
Function
Pentose reductase with a broad substrate affinity involved in pentose catabolism. Has highest reductase activities with L-arabinose and D-xylose as substrates, and displays much lower activities with D-ribose, D-galactose and D-glucose. Has highest dehydrogenase activity with L-arabitol as substrate, followed by xylitol and D-sorbitol. May be responsible for the first step of the L-arabinose catabolic pathway.
Similarity
Belongs to the aldo/keto reductase family.
