In enzymology a 6-oxohexanoate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.63) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction6-oxohexanoate + NADP+ + H2O adipate + NADPH + 2 H+The 3 substrates of this enzyme are 6-oxohexanoate NADP+ and H2O whereas its 3 products are adipate NADPH and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
