Nomenclature
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is shikimate:NADP+ 3-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include:
- dehydroshikimic reductase,
- shikimate oxidoreductase,
- shikimate:NADP+ oxidoreductase,
- 5-dehydroshikimate reductase,
- shikimate 5-dehydrogenase,
- 5-dehydroshikimic reductase,
- DHS reductase,
- shikimate:NADP+ 5-oxidoreductase, and
- AroE.
