Beta-nitroacrylate reductase

In enzymology, a beta-nitroacrylate reductase (EC number|1.3.1.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:3-nitropropanoate + NADP⁺ $ightleftharpoons$ 3-nitroacrylate + NADPH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-nitropropanoate and NADP⁺, whereas its 3 products are 3-nitroacrylate, 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 3-nitropropanoate:NADP+ oxidoreductase.
