Protein
L-xylulose reductase
Organism
Hypocrea jecorina (strain QM6a)
Function
L-xylulose reductase involved in the catabolism of L-arabinose through an oxidoreductive pathway. Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of L-xylulose. Is also able to convert D-xylulose, D-ribulose, L-sorbose, and D-fructose to their corresponding polyols.
Similarity
Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
