D-xylose reductase (EC 1.1.1.307 XylR XyrA msXR dsXR monospecific xylose reductase dual specific xylose reductase NAD(P)H-dependent xylose reductase xylose reductase) is an enzyme with system name xylitol:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction xylitol + NAD(P)+ D-xylose + NAD(P)H + H+Xylose reductase catalyses the initial reaction in the xylose utilization pathway the NAD(P)H dependent reduction of xylose to xylitol.
