NCIt definition : Sorbitol dehydrogenase (357 aa, 38 kDa) is encoded by the human SORD gene. This protein
plays a role in the interconversion of glucose and fructose to sorbitol and the reversible
conversion of sugar alcohols to ketoses.;
NCIt note : Sorbitol dehydrogenase has the following polyol dehydrogenase activities (R,R)-butanediol
dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.4), L-iditol 2-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.14), ribitol dehydrogenase
(EC 1.1.1.56) and xylitol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.9). (UniProt);
