Apiose 1-reductase explained

apiose 1-reductase
Ec Number:	1.1.1.114
Cas Number:	37250-45-6
Go Code:	0047674

In enzymology, an apiose 1-reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

D-apiitol + NAD⁺

\rightleftharpoons D-apiose + NADH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are D-apiitol and NAD⁺, whereas its 3 products are D-apiose, NADH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD⁺ or NADP⁺ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-apiitol:NAD⁺ 1-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include D-apiose reductase, and D-apiitol reductase.
