Salutaridine reductase (NADPH)

In enzymology, salutaridine reductase (NADPH) () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The three substrates of this enzyme are salutaridine, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and a proton. Its products are salutaridinol and oxidised NADPH<sup>+</sup>. This conversion is part of the morphinan alkaloid pathway in Papaver somniferum.

The enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD<sup>+</sup> or NADP<sup>+</sup> as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is salutaridinol:NADP<sup>+</sup> 7-oxidoreductase.
