Apiose 1-reductase

In enzymology, apiose 1-reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are D-apiitol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Its products are D-apiose, reduced NADH, 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 D-apiitol:NAD⁺ 1-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include D-apiose reductase, and D-apiitol reductase.
