General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of L-xylulose, D-xylulose, D-fructose, and L-sorbose, with the highest affinity for L-xylulose By similarity.
Catalytic activity	Xylitol + NADP+ = L-xylulose + NADPH.
Pathway	Carbohydrate degradation; L-arabinose degradation via L-arabinitol; D-xylulose 5-phosphate from L-arabinose (fungal route): step 3/5.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
