Catalysis of the reaction: an alditol + NADP+ = an aldose + NADPH + H+. [EC:1.1.1.21]
Aldose reductase (NADPH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of various aldehydes to their corresponding alcohols, using NADPH as a reducing cofactor. This enzyme plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism, particularly in the detoxification of reactive aldehydes, such as those generated by oxidative stress. The catalytic mechanism involves the following steps: 1. Binding of both NADPH and the aldehyde substrate to the enzyme active site. 2. Hydride transfer from NADPH to the aldehyde, reducing it to an alcohol. 3. Release of the alcohol product and NADP+ from the enzyme. The enzyme exhibits a high affinity for glucose, and its activity is regulated by factors such as substrate concentration, NADPH availability, and post-translational modifications. Aldose reductase is implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including diabetic complications, inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. Its role in these processes is often associated with its ability to reduce toxic aldehydes, contribute to oxidative stress, and influence cellular signaling pathways.'
