Phloroglucinol reductase

In enzymology, phloroglucinol reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are dihydrophloroglucinol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. Its products are phloroglucinol, reduced NADPH, 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 dihydrophloroglucinol:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via CoA ligation.
