Acrylyl-CoA reductase (NADPH)

Acrylyl-CoA reductase (NADPH) is an enzyme with systematic name propanoyl-CoA:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * propanoyl-CoA + NADP+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ acryloyl-CoA + NADPH + H+

This enzyme catalyses a step in the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle, an autotrophic CO2 fixation pathway found in some Thermoacidophilic archaea.
