Protein
L-arabinitol 4-dehydrogenase
Organism
Aspergillus niger (strain CBS 513.88 / FGSC A1513)
Function
Catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of L-arabinitol to L-xylulose in the fungal L-arabinose catabolic pathway. L-arabinose catabolism is important for using plant material as a carbon source. Not active with NAPD as cosubstrate.
Similarity
Belongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family.
