Tropinone reductase II

In enzymology, a tropinone reductase II () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are pseudotropine and NADP⁺, whereas its 3 products are tropinone, NADPH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD⁺ or NADP⁺ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is pseudotropine:NADP⁺ 3-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include tropinone (psi-tropine-forming) reductase, pseudotropine forming tropinone reductase, tropinone reductase (ambiguous), and TR-II. This enzyme participates in alkaloid biosynthesis ii.
