Term Name:	2-dehydropantolactone reductase (A-specific) activity
Synonyms:	(R)-pantolactone:NADP+ oxidoreductase (A-specific), 2-dehydropantoyl-lactone reductase (A-specific) activity, 2-ketopantoyl lactone reductase activity, 2-oxopantoyl lactone reductase, ketopantoyl lactone reductase activity
Definition:	Catalysis of the reaction: (R)-pantolactone + NADP+ = 2-dehydropantolactone + NADPH + H+. The reaction is A-specific (i.e. the pro-R hydrogen is transferred from the 4-position of reduced nicotinamide cofactor) with respect to NADP+.
