DXP reductoisomerase (1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase or DXR) is an enzyme that interconverts 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP).

It is part of the nonmevalonate pathway (MEP pathway), and it is inhibited by fosmidomycin. It is normally abbreviated DXR, but it is sometimes named IspC, as the product of the ''ispC'' gene. This enzyme is responsible for terpenoid biosynthesis in some organisms.〔 In ''Arabidopsis thaliana'' 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase is the first committed enzyme of the non-mevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis. The enzyme requires Mn2+, Co2+ or Mg2+ for activity, with Mn2+ being most effective. ==External links== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「DXP reductoisomerase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
