Flavanone 4-reductase
In enzymology, a flavanone 4-reductase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (2S)-flavan-4-ol and NADP, whereas its 3 products are (2S)-flavanone, 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 (2S)-flavan-4-ol:NADP 4-oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in flavonoid biosynthesis.
