Xylitol Dehydrogenase from S. cerevisiae

This CDS codes for xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH).

XDH is an enzyme that allows the conversion of xylitol to xylulose, and vice versa, according to the following chemical equation:

xylitol + NAD+ ⇌ D-xylulose + NADH + H+

In S. cerevisiae yeast cells, XDH forms the second process in the XR-XDH pathway, which converts xylose into xylulose via xylitol. Xylulose is then converted into xylulose-5-phosphate (X5P) for further metabolism in the pentose phosphate pathway.
