2-hexadecenal reductase

In enzymology, 2-hexadecenal reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The three substrates of this enzyme are 2-trans-hexadecenal, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and a proton. Its products are hexadecanal, oxidised NADP⁺, and a proton.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is hexadecanal:NADP+ Delta2-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 2-alkenal reductase, and hexadecanal: NADP+ oxidoreductase.
