Dicarbonyl/L-xylulose reductase (DCXR)


UniProt Number: Q7Z4W1
Alternate Names: XR, l-xylulose reductase, kidney dicarbonyl reductase, carbonyl reductase II, sperm surface protein P34H, kiDCR
Structure and Function: DCXR is an oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of several pentoses, tetroses, alpha-dicarbonyl compounds and L-xylulose. DCXR is part of the uronate cycle in glucose metabolism and is highly expressed in kidney and liver. Weak expression or not expressed in brain and heart tissue.
Disease Associations: Defects in DCXR are a cause of pentosuria [MIM: 260800]; also known as L-xylulosuria or xylitol dehydrogenase deficiency. Pentosuria is an inborn error of carbohydrate metabolism, characterized by the excessive urinary excretion of the sugar xylitol.
