24 Dienoyl-CoA reductase also known as DECR1 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the DECR1 gene which resides on chromosome 8.This gene encodes an accessory enzyme that participates in the beta oxidation and metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty enoyl-CoA esters. Specifically it catalyzes the reduction of 24 Dienoyl-CoA thioesters of varying length by NADPH cofactor to 3-trans-enoyl-CoA of equivalent length.
