EC 1.1.1.313 Details
EC number
1.1.1.313
Accepted name
sulfoacetaldehyde reductase (NADPH)
Reaction
isethionate + NADP+ = 2-sulfoacetaldehyde + NADPH + H+
Other name(s)
isfD (gene name)
Systematic name
isethionate:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Comment
Catalyses the reaction only in the opposite direction. Involved in taurine degradation. The bacterium Chromohalobacter salexigens strain DSM 3043 possesses two enzymes that catalyse this reaction, a constitutive enzyme (encoded by isfD2) and an inducible enzyme (encoded by isfD). The latter is induced by taurine, and is responsible for most of the activity observed in taurine-grown cells. cf. EC 1.1.1.433, sulfoacetaldehyde reductase (NADH).
