2-hydroxy-3-oxopropionate reductase
In enzymology, a 2-hydroxy-3-oxopropionate reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are D-glyceric acid and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Its products are 2-hydroxy-3-oxopropanoate, reduced NADH, and a proton. The enzyme can alternatively use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate as its cofactor.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is -glycerate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called tartronate semialdehyde reductase. This enzyme participates in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism.
