The two substrates of this enzyme are D-sorbitol and an electron acceptor. Its products are L-sorbose (shown in open-chain keto form) and the corresponding reduced acceptor.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-sorbitol:acceptor 1-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called D-sorbitol:(acceptor) 1-oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in fructose and mannose metabolism. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
