DXP reductoisomerase or (1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase) is an enzyme that intraconverts 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate.[1]

It is classified under EC 1.1.1.267.

It is part of the non-mevalonate pathway, and it is inhibited by fosmidomycin.

It is normally abbreviated DXR, but it is sometimes named IspC.

This enzyme is responsible for terpenoid biosynthesis in some organisms.[1] In Arabidopsis thaliana 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase is the first committed enzyme of the non-mevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis. The enzyme requires Mn2+, Co2+ or Mg2+ for activity, with Mn2+ being most effective.
