1.1.1.162 D-threitol + NADP+ = D-erythrulose + NADPH + H+ in an early reference the enzymatic reaction product of D-erythrulose was incorrectly identified as erythritol, gas-liquid and thin-layer chromatographic data have since confirmed the product to be D-threitol, not erythritol, for this reason the systematic name D-threitol:NADP+ oxidoreductase is now used instead of erythritol:NADP+ oxidoreductase 286086
