2,5-didehydrogluconate reductase
In enzymology, 2,5-didehydrogluconate reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are 2-dehydro-D-gluconic acid and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. Its products are 2,5-didehydro-D-gluconic acid, reduced NADPH, and a proton.
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 2-dehydro-D-gluconate:NADP+ 2-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 2,5-diketo-D-gluconate reductase, and YqhE reductase.
