Trans-23-enoyl-CoA reductase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TECR gene.This gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum and belongs to the steroid 5-alpha reductase family. The elongation of microsomal long and very long chain fatty acid consists of 4 sequential reactions. This protein catalyzes the final step reducing trans-23-enoyl-CoA to saturated acyl-CoA. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
