In enzymology a 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate 6-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.126) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate + NADP+ (4S5S)-45-dihydroxy-26-dioxohexanoate + NADPH + H+Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate and NADP+ whereas its 3 products are (4S5S)-45-dihydroxy-26-dioxohexanoate NADPH and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
