Description
The enzyme takes part in a D-galacturonate degradation pathway in the fungi Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina). It has equal activity with D- and L-glyceraldehyde, and can also reduce glyoxal and methylglyoxal. The reaction is only observed in the direction of glyceraldehyde reduction.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
