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 -flavan-4-ol and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are -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 -flavan-4-ol:NADP+ 4-oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in flavonoid biosynthesis.
