In enzymology, enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase (NADPH, B-specific) () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The enzyme converts the trans double bond of a thioester attached to an acyl carrier protein to the corresponding saturated compound using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and a proton as reducing agent.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, to be specific, those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]:NADP+ oxidoreductase (B-specific). Other names in common use include acyl-ACP dehydrogenase, reductase, enoyl-[acyl carrier protein] (reduced nicotinamide, adenine dinucleotide phosphate), NADPH 2-enoyl Co A reductase, enoyl acyl-carrier-protein reductase, enoyl-ACP reductase, and enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase (NADPH, B-specific). This enzyme participates in fatty acid biosynthesis.
As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes and .
