EC 1.3.1.84

Accepted name: acrylyl-CoA reductase (NADPH)

Reaction: propanoyl-CoA + NADP+ = acryloyl-CoA + NADPH + H+

For diagram of reaction click here (another example and another example).

Glossary: acrylyl-CoA = acryloyl-CoA
propanoyl-CoA = propionyl-CoA

Systematic name: propanoyl-CoA:NADP+ oxidoreductase

Comments: Catalyses a step in the 3-hydroxypropanoate/4-hydroxybutanoate cycle, an autotrophic CO2 fixation pathway found in some thermoacidophilic archaea [1]. The enzyme from Sulfolobus tokodaii does not act on either NADH or crotonyl-CoA [2]. Different from EC 1.3.1.8, which acts only on enoyl-CoA derivatives of carbon chain length 4 to 16. Contains Zn2+.
