EC 1.1.1.255

Accepted name: mannitol dehydrogenase

Reaction: D-mannitol + NAD+ = D-mannose + NADH + H+

Other name(s): MTD; NAD-dependent mannitol dehydrogenase

Systematic name: mannitol:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase

Comments: The enzyme from Apium graveolens (celery) oxidizes alditols with a minimum requirement of 2R chirality at the carbon adjacent to the primary carbon undergoing the oxidation. The enzyme is specific for NAD+ and does not use NADP+.
