| Short Name | Mannitol_DH |
| description | Mannitol dehydrogenases catalyse the NAD-dependent reduction of mannitol-1-phosphates as part of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS). The PTS facilitates the vectorial translocation of metabolisable carbohydrates to form the corresponding sugar phosphates, which are then converted to glycolytic intermediates []. Mannitol 2-dehydrogenase catalyses the NAD-dependent reduction of mannitol to fructose [].Several dehydrogenases have been shown []to be evolutionary related, including mannitol-1-phosphate 5-dehydrogenase () (gene mtlD), mannitol 2-dehydrogenase () (gene mtlK); mannonate oxidoreductase () (fructuronate reductase) (gene uxuB); Escherichia coli hypothetical proteins ydfI and yeiQ; and yeast hypothetical protein YEL070w. |
