In enzymology a carbonyl reductase (NADPH) (EC 1.1.1.184) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionR-CHOH-R’ + NADP+ R-CO-R’ + NADPH + H+Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are R-CHOH-R’ and NADP+ whereas its 3 products are R-CO-R’ NADPH and H+.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 secondary-alcohol:NADP+ oxidoreductase.
