+ NADH
 

Its two substrates are D-arabinitol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). The products are D-xylulose, reduced cofactor NADH, and a proton. [1]

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-arabinitol:NAD+ 4-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include D-arabitol dehydrogenase and arabitol dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in pentose and glucuronate interconversions and fructose and mannose metabolism. [2] [3] [4]
