Cis-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH)

In enzymology, a cis-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH) () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

acyl-CoA + NADP<sup>+</sup> cis-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + NADPH + H<sup>+</sup>

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acyl-CoA and NADP<sup>+</sup>, whereas its 3 products are cis-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA, NADPH, and H<sup>+</sup>.

Nomenclature

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acyl-CoA:NADP+ cis-2-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include NADPH-dependent cis-enoyl-CoA reductase, reductase, cis-2-enoyl coenzyme A, cis-2-enoyl-coenzyme A reductase, and cis-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH).
