DescriptionSorbitol, also known as neosorb or D-glucitol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. Sorbitol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Sorbitol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. sorbitol can be converted into keto-D-fructose; which is catalyzed by the enzyme sorbitol dehydrogenase. In yeast, sorbitol is involved in the metabolic pathway called the fructose metabolism pathway.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in zinc ion binding
Specific function:
L-iditol + NAD(+) = L-sorbose + NADH
Gene Name:
SOR1
Uniprot ID:
P35497
Molecular weight:
38165.39844
Reactions
L-iditol + NAD(+) → L-sorbose + NADH.
General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Reduces the cytotoxic compound methylglyoxal (MG) to (R)-lactaldehyde similar to GRE2. MG is synthesized via a bypath of glycolysis from dihydroxyacetone phosphate and is believed to play a role in cell cycle regulation and stress adaptation. In pentose-fermenting yeasts, aldose reductase catalyzes the reduction of xylose into xylitol. The purified enzyme catalyzes this reaction, but the inability of S.cerevisiae to grow on xylose as sole carbon source indicates that the physiological function is more likely methylglyoxal reduction

GRE3

Reactions
Alditol + NAD(P)(+) → aldose + NAD(P)H.
(R)-lactaldehyde + NADP(+) → methylglyoxal + NADPH.
