Asparagusate reductase

In enzymology, an asparagusate reductase (EC number|1.8.1.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:3-mercapto-2-mercaptomethylpropanoate + NAD⁺ $ightleftharpoons$ asparagusate + NADH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-mercapto-2-mercaptomethylpropanoate and NAD⁺, whereas its 3 products are asparagusate, NADH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a sulfur group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-mercapto-2-mercaptomethylpropanoate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include asparagusate dehydrogenase, asparagusic dehydrogenase, asparagusate reductase (NADH2), and NADH2:asparagusate oxidoreductase.
