D-xylose dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of D-xylose into D-xylonolactone with coenzyme NAD+ or NADP+ as electron acceptor, is a core enzyme in the pentose metabolic pathway, and supports the development of xylose bioconversion and biosensor systems.
Applications
D-xylose dehydrogenase serves as a core raw material for xylose detection kits and pentose metabolism pathway assay reagent development.
