Carbonyl reductases

Patent Granted In enzymology, a carbonyl reductase (NADPH) (EC 1.1.1.184) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction R-CHOH-R' + NADP+ \rightleftharpoons R-CO-R' + NADPH + H+ Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are R-CHOH-R' and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are R-CO-R', 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.
