The catalytic and inhibitory profiles of xylose reductase isolated from the yeast Pachysolen tanno- philus (PTXR) are compared to those of aldose reductase (AR) obtained form rat lens. While both PTXR and rat lens AR are NADPH-specific enzymes and have an affinity for a variety of substrates such as
Aldose reductase (AR), a major enzyme in the polyol pathway, is thought to be responsible for accumulation of polyols in lenses exposed to high doses of galactose or glucose, and it may be linked to some of the complications found in diabetes. In this report we examined the level of expression of AR
