KEGG   ENZYME: 1.1.1.406
Entry
EC 1.1.1.406                Enzyme                                 
Name
galactitol 2-dehydrogenase (L-tagatose-forming);
GatDH
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-OH group of donors;
With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor
Sysname
galactitol:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase (L-tagatose-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
galactitol + NAD+ = L-tagatose + NADH + H+ [RN:R11637]
Reaction(KEGG)
R11637
Substrate
galactitol [CPD:C01697];
NAD+ [CPD:C00003]
Product
L-tagatose [CPD:C21523];
NADH [CPD:C00004];
H+ [CPD:C00080]
Comment
The enzyme, characterized in the bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, has a wide subtrate specificity. In addition to galactitol, it primarily oxidizes D-threitol and xylitol, and in addition to L-tagatose, it primarily reduces L-erythrulose, D-ribulose and L-glyceraldehyde. It is specific for NAD+. The enzyme also shows activity with D-tagatose (cf. EC 1.1.1.16, galactitol 2-dehydrogenase).
