In enzymology a ribitol-5-phosphate 2-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.137) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionD-ribitol 5-phosphate + NAD(P)+ D-ribulose 5-phosphate + NAD(P)H + H+The 3 substrates of this enzyme are D-ribitol 5-phosphate NAD+ and NADP+ whereas its 4 products are D-ribulose 5-phosphate NADH 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.
