Phloroglucinol reductase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a phloroglucinol reductase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

dihydrophloroglucinol + NADP⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ phloroglucinol + NADPH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are dihydrophloroglucinol and NADP⁺, whereas its 3 products are phloroglucinol, NADPH, and H⁺.

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.
