EC | 1.1.1.372 | ||||
Accepted name: | D/L-glyceraldehyde reductase | ||||
Reaction: | (1) glycerol + NADP+ = L-glyceraldehyde + NADPH + H+ (2) glycerol + NADP+ = D-glyceraldehyde + NADPH + H+ |
||||
Other name(s): | gld1 (gene name); gaaD (gene name) | ||||
Systematic name: | glycerol:NADP+ oxidoreductase (D/L-glyceraldehyde-forming) | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme takes part in a D-galacturonate degradation pathway in the fungi Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina). It has equal activity with D- and L-glyceraldehyde, and can also reduce glyoxal and methylglyoxal. The reaction is only observed in the direction of glyceraldehyde reduction. | ||||
