This is an abbreviated version! For detailed information about D-xylose 1-dehydrogenase (NADP+, D-xylono-1,5-lactone-forming), go to the full flat file.
The enzyme, characterized from pig arterial vessels and eye lens, also acts, more slowly, on L-arabinose and D-ribose. cf. EC 1.1.1.424, D-xylose 1-dehydrogenase (NADP+, D-xylono-1,4-lactone-forming).
