| Official Name |
|---|
| Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (NADP(+)).
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| 2-enoyl-CoA reductase. |
| Enoyl coenzyme A reductase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Acyl-CoA + NADP(+) <=> 2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + NADPH |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The liver enzyme acts on enoyl-CoA derivatives of carbon chain length
4 to 16, with optimum activity on 2-hexenoyl-CoA.
- In Escherichia coli, cis-specific and trans-specific enzymes exist
(cf. EC 1.3.1.37 and EC 1.3.1.38).
